Can I be totally honest with you? I believe that grace is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the contemporary Church. On the one hand, there are legalists who seem to forget that salvation is by grace through faith and not by works. They turn Christianity into a lifeless religion plagued by futility and marked by always-failing human effort.
On the other hand, there are leaders who seem to forget that salvation by grace includes freedom from sin as well as forgiveness of sin. They turn Christianity into a religion that “saves” but doesn’t transform. Both positions are wrong. Dead wrong.
