The Dynamics Of Grace PDF Download

We are so much more than sinners saved by grace, but rather saints indwelt by grace. We should not forget where we came from but never confuse that with who we are and where we are going (1 John 3:1). Reading The Inward Embrace of Grace provided insight and an answer to "why I experienced decades of failed attempts of trying to resolve sin" and "why I was never able to fully attain and retain living a joy-filled life as a Christian." The techniques taught by religion almost always lead to depending on one's own ability. John writes that "Relying on our own ability takes the focus off of God and puts the focus on self, which only makes sin abound and creates further distance from God." I now realize how often we default to relying on our own ability, and we are not even aware that we are doing it. No wonder people experience despair and lose hope. In the book, John brings clarity to what grace is and what it is not, how faith is produced, and a correct understanding of righteousness, as well as other terms that are imperative to know in order to understand the Gospel and experience its true freedom and power. -Dorothy Snyder Grace was never God's plan B to fix something but plan A to experience someone. This is not a self-help book of steps to try to fix your life but rather a new fresh outlook to experience His life in your original purpose and design. You will be led on an illuminating discovery of the life that you were created to live. This happens by systematically unfolding the dynamics of grace through the inward transforming work of the Holy Spirit, supernaturally leaving behind any former attempt to fix yourself. The true Christian life is freedom from our own self-effort to live to experience His life (Galatians 2:21).
