Practical Grace
Grace
If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ, you have been saved by grace. The life and death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has given you an entirely new life as a Christian.
What happens now?
This space is dedicated to exploring life on earth after salvation.
The amazing discovery of the Christian life is that grace does not stop. Grace is not only for salvation, and then we pay God back by living as He dictates.
Grace is practical. Grace is for daily living, for what Christians call sanctification.
Whether you have just put your faith in Christ, or have been a Christian for years, or if you are just checking out what a Christian is, please take seriously the wonder that is ongoing grace... God's incredible favor as we live our entire lives. Grace impacts everything... Hence, practical grace.
Several links below explore a few key areas for understanding grace in daily living. Also check out our menus for explanations of key Bible passages and key adjectives (like saving grace, cheap grace, common grace, etc.). We also have a daily devotional thought, a theology section, and a list of resources as you grow in grace.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you!
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8)

Sola Gratia
What's in a Sola?
Grace in the Christian life is not a part of salvation; to be grace, it must be alone.
If your sanctification is also by grace alone, then your obedience does not get you merit, either.

Grace in Daily Living
I Need Grace Every Day?
The short answer is yes.
Grace is not simply common, nor saving in a once-for-all sense; rather God's grace impacts every moment you are alive.
Could it be that you have been living the Christian life not fully understanding the message of the Gospel?
