THE GOSPEL OF GRACE

“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.”  (1 John 4:9 NIV)

The Gospel descends on mankind -- it does not rise from us. It is not a projection of our innate spirituality. It is revealed not discovered or invented. It is of grace, not works. It is conferred not attained. It is a gift to our poverty, not a triumph of our resource. Its Christ is a Christ sent to us and not developed from us, bestowed on our need and not produced from our strength.

-- P.T. Forsyth, British theologian
