Author of: The case for Christ.
In Christianity, God isn’t just saying, ‘I'm not going to punish you for what you've done.’ That would be merciful, but he takes a dramatic next step by giving us something glorious — complete forgiveness and eternal life as a pure gift.
Grace is an amazing gift that we don't deserve and cannot earn or contribute to. It’s lavish, it’s undeserved, it’s extravagant — it’s unmerited favor that God bestows freely to those willing to receive it. We can't earn it, we can't contribute to it, we can't repay him for it, we can't take any credit for it, but God offers it because he made us in his image and wants to have a relationship with us for eternity. That’s the Good News of the gospel.
