Most words have more than one meaning. So it is with the word Grace. Unfortunately, the conventional assumption appears to be that there is only one meaning for the word Grace…and that one meaning is “favor.” Is “favor” the true grace that saves us? As we look at the definition of the word Grace in the Strongs Concordance, we see that the word Grace also means “the Divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life.” At what point, when studying the bible, do we apply that meaning for the word Grace?
In the book, The Grace that Saves You, Herbert J. Brunswick, Jr. appropriately identifies and applies the true meaning of the grace that gives salvation. He shows that the Grace that saves us is none other than the Holy Spirit that dwells in us, and not just an endowed favor of which we do not deserve. The Holy Spirit is that “Divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life.” That definition of Grace is also found in the Strongs Concordance. The author shows that Grace is in fact the gift of God, and not a gift from God. It is God, Himself, manifested in the form of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us, influences our hearts, and is reflected in our lives. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
As believers in Christ, we must make sure we walk in the true Grace…the grace that saves us, and not a grace that is usually portrayed as a license to sin. Get your copy today! You’ll be glad you did.
