The Perfect law of Grace

I'm convinced that the greatest inconsistency in the church today concerns the grace of God. Every doctrine and every precept should come under the government of grace (so that they can become personally and operationally effective). If you detach a particular spiritual truth from grace, you cease to propagate the gospel. Grace is the main rule of our new and better covenant. The further you move from the gospel of grace, the less capacity you will have to experience any of God's wonderful and amazing attributes. Remember, according to the new covenant God cannot operate outside of grace toward you.

Nelson's Bible Dictionary says, “grace is favour or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it, and in spite of what that person deserves.” Grace is God’s mercy in action! Grace is unmerited favour, and it is totally reliant on the character of the person who is releasing it (not on the recipient).
