Overview

Christianity is, and has always been, a struggle to balance grace and truth. We seem unable to get the pendulum in the middle. Either we have what some call hyper-grace, or we have legalism. John 1:17 says, ""For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."" There is the balance we seek. Grace without truth is license; truth without grace is legalism. The immoral woman placed before Jesus, and told that she should be stoned to death is an illustration of the balance Jesus brought. He gave her great grace: ""neither do I condemn you;"" He told her the truth: ""Go and sin no more."" The sixteen adjectives in the KJV accompanying the word ""grace"" give a balanced view of this principle. In this work, Wayne Stockstill has shown adequately how our Lord and Savior gives us grace for every situation we can face in life: salvation, sanctification, selection (election), standing grace, sufficient grace, singing grace, speaking grace, strengthening grace, sustaining grace, stewardship grace, serving grace, separating grace, substitution grace, submitting grace, searching grace, and sober grace. Stockstill explores the balance between grace and truth in each chapter echoing the sentiment of John 1:16 which states, ""For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."" From God's manifold grace we have everything we need for a productive life-a life that is pleasing to God-a life that receives the ""well done, good and faithful servant"" commendation. As you explore the contents of each chapter it is hoped that you will glean a growing sense of wonder and awe of God's undeserved grace, love and kindness bestowed on us.
