Transforming Grace
Point: God’s grace is sufficient. It is sufficient for our salvation. It is sufficient for our sanctification. It is sufficient for our weaknesses. It is sufficient for trials of today.
Path: Bridges explains how Christians today often accept God’s grace to cover them for salvation, but then attempt to live in their own strength day by day. We become legalists by attempting to please God with what we do or refuse to do.
Sources: This is a traditional Bridges book. He studies through several passage, noting Puritan writers and contemporary commentators.
Agreement: This was an excellent book to remind me that there is nothing I can do to improve on God’s grace. I cannot work for what God has done. There is no way that I could ever merit anything that God has given me in His grace.
Disagreement: I would disagree with some of what he says in regard to the OT law.
Personal App: Why am I doing what I am doing? Am I trying to earn God’s favor? Have I practically tried to earn grace?
Stars: 5 out of 5
It would be worth another read and I would recommend it.
I would probably put this on my once a year reading list.
