Because of counseling and preaching on the subject of Grace as presented in this book for more than 40 years, and having now retired, I felt it necessary to write a little on the teaching in this letter of Paul on the same subject. If the reader can grasp what is here written, he will have a life of peace, harmony, and love toward his fellowman and his Lord. Grace never condemns a person for their faults and failures. Grace is an extension of God's love that reaches out to people where they are, taking their mess and turning it into a message. Grace uplifts, encourages, and prods a person to keep moving to fulfill their full potential. God has something great for everyone. Remember, He doesn't condemn - He blesses everyone whether they recognize it or not with fresh air, food, health, family, friends, and more.
