Grace

“A grace revolution is sweeping across the Church. Many Christians are making the transition from legalism to grace. …..Legalism is the belief that my works are the basis of God’s acceptance and blessing. …….Grace is the belief that I am always accepted and qualified for every blessing because of the finished work of Jesus. …… Legalism says, “Do”……. Grace says, “Done!” There is nothing I can do to make God love me more; and there is nothing I can do that will make Him love me less. “

Quote by Kenn Legg - Grace Roots

Here is a great quote by Ken Legg

Dear friend, you may feel dirty, crumpled and downtrodden, due to what life has done to you, or even because of some of the decisions you have made yourself. But whatever has happened to you in life is not, in any way, a true indication of your worth. 

The question regarding your real value was settled on a hill called Calvary, two thousand years ago. There, your Creator became your Saviour, and paid a price that no one else could possibly have paid for you. Peter said, “…you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold... but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Pet.1:18&19).

That’s your value.  You can show to the world that you know your true worth by allowing God’s glory to shine through you. Paul says, “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Cor.6:20).  

Grace for every situation

2 Peter 1:3 (NLT) By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.

Ken Legg writes: “There are no instalments to the Christian life. God has given us one gift, His Son Jesus Christ, and included in Him is every other blessing we will ever need for life. The Christian life does not consist of running everywhere to get our needs met. It’s about having Christ and possessing all things in Him. As we journey through life God teaches us that we are not working towards adequacy, but from it. We have been made sufficient for all things.” Quote by Ken Legg in ‘This is Life: How to establish your heart in the Grace of God.’

I've been reading some e-books by Ken Legg.

I've been reading some e-books by Ken Legg. He leads a Church on the Gold Coast, QLD Australia and a fellowship in Brisbane. He has good teaching on the "New Covenant." Below is a taste from the introduction of the book "This is the life." I bought and downloaded my copy from Koorong Books. Enjoy the Quote - Bob Lipsys, Australia

'Grace is what makes Christianity unique. If we don’t make the grace connection we will end up with just another religion. Religion is what we try to do for God. Grace is what God has done for us, and is doing in us, through His Son Jesus Christ.
Grace people do not experience fewer trials than others do, but they are equipped to handle those trials through divine resources. But grace is more than God’s ability to hold us up in the midst of hard times. It is the manifestation of Christ’s life through us. The key to understanding the Christian walk is to know that it does not consist of us trying to live our lives for Jesus, but of Him living His life through us.'
