Abounding Grace: The Biblical Balance of Faith, Grace, and Works

When Grace Becomes More Than a Word

Grace.

We’ve heard the word so many times, it can almost lose its weight. It’s sung about in hymns, printed on bumper stickers, and whispered in moments of crisis.
 But here’s the question: Do we really understand what grace is?

For many of us, grace was presented as a theological concept—something we nodded at in church but rarely experienced deeply.
 Others were warned against “too much grace,” as if God’s kindness were somehow dangerous, reckless, or soft on sin.
 Still others grew up in performance-driven religion, constantly wondering if they were doing enough, being enough, or repenting enough to stay in God’s good graces.

Here’s the truth: Grace is not fragile, confusing, or optional. It’s the very heartbeat of the gospel.

This book isn’t about lowering the bar of holiness. It’s about lifting the veil on the beauty and power of God’s unearned favor, and how it changes everything—not just our theology, but our daily lives.

Grace is:

● A gift we don’t deserve but desperately need.

● A power that doesn’t excuse sin but transforms us from the inside out.

● A voice that says, “You are already loved—now live like it.”

In the chapters ahead, you’ll discover what grace really is, how it’s often misunderstood, and why embracing it will set you free from guilt, striving, fear, and spiritual exhaustion.
 You’ll see how grace works hand-in-hand with faith, obedience, repentance, and holiness—not in opposition, but in divine harmony.

So wherever you are in your spiritual journey—burned out, fired up, confused, skeptical, or hungry for more—know this:

Grace is not just a doctrine.
 It’s an invitation.
 It’s a Person.
 And He’s calling you deeper.

Let’s dive in together.
