21 Tough Questions about Grace

21 Tough Questions about Grace

Dedicated to a champion of grace, Dr. Earl Radmacher, this book deals with questions that every serious student of God's Word and recipient of God's grace has asked. For example: Is Free Grace "Cheap Grace"?; How Were People Saved in the Old Testament?' and, Didn't Jesus Say We Must Persevere to the End to Be Saved? Written for those who treasure GRACE, this book is a wealth of information in one volume that is useful for both personal and classroom study.

We hear so many caricatures and distortions about the meaning of Free Grace that a book setting the record straight is long overdue. These twenty-one answers to twenty-one questions about grace do a masterful job of clarifying the issues and explaining the proper understanding of Free Grace. The collection of contributors deals fairly with accusations like "cheap grace," "easy believism," "no fruitâ€“no faith," and many other grenades lobbed at Free Grace Theology. Through exegesis of pertinent passages, the authors address issues like loss of salvation, fruit inspection for assurance of salvation, fellowship versus relationship, temporal judgment versus eternal judgment, and many more. For anyone wishing for a more clear understanding of Free Grace, this book is a must.
