Grace and Peace

In Grace and Peace: A Doctrinal Foundation, you will see exactly what the Apostle Paul means when he opens every one of his epistles with the words "e;Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."e; This is no mere greeting. It is God's personal invitation to the rich doctrinal curriculum He has given us in Romans through Philemon—the very "e;grace"e; that takes us from justification by faith to full-grown sonship.You will learn:How the "e;grace"e; in Paul's salutation is the specific teaching of the mystery revealed to Paul, designed to edify and mature every member of the Body of Christ today.How that same grace effectually works within you to produce the "e;peace"e; that is God's own tranquility—peace with God, peace in your inner man, and peace that passes all understanding.The clear, sequential sonship curriculum that moves you from foundation (Romans) to advanced doctrine (Ephesians–Colossians) and practical living as a son.The difference between unconditional sonship status and the progressive life of a mature son.Practical mechanisms—intelligent prayer, the effectual working of the Word, and the Holy Spirit's tranquilizing ministry—that enable you to possess God's own peace amid the sufferings of this present time, the sufferings of Christ, and even self-inflicted troubles.Written in plain, straightforward language with your King James Bible open, this book rightly divides the Word of truth and shows you how to receive, believe, and operate upon Paul's doctrines so that grace produces genuine peace in your daily walk. No seminary required—just honest study and a willing heart.If you have ever wondered why peace seems so hard to hold onto, or if you want to understand your identity as the new creature in Christ and your heavenly vocation, this book is for you. It will help you rejoice in hope of the glory of God and walk worthy in this dispensation of grace.Start enjoying the Bible the way God intends—full of grace and peace.
