“Radical grace” teaching has invaded the church! This new teaching on the grace of God gives the believer a “have it your way” Christianity. It seems to say,” because of God’s grace, you can do what you want, how you want… you have the liberty in Christ.” True grace from God’s Word is quite different! True grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and to live soberly and righteously. True grace will transform us into the image of Christ and compel us toward God and away from sin. In these pages, you will discover that God’s grace at work in your life will not only compel you to live a godly lifestyle, but it will give you a spiritual maturity and humility towards those who do not. True grace will produce: • Purity without piety • Awe without arrogance • Holiness without haughtiness • Righteousness without self-righteousness In a world that is less and less impressed with “new grace” Christianity, we need a new generation of Christians to embrace the godly lifestyle that true grace will produce!
