This book is about salvation by God’s grace. If you were to ask the average Christian if he believed in salvation by grace, most would respond with an emphatic, “Yes.” I know, because I have asked people from many Christian faiths, and each response has been in the affirmative. Why wouldn’t it be?

It would be an insult to God to suggest otherwise—“Yes, I believe that salvation is by grace.” But when you ask them to explain grace, things get a little fuzzy. Their answers are very different. In other words, there are various attachments to their concept of what salvation by grace really is—how they, personally, were saved by grace.

These attachments include reading the sinner’s prayer, the waters of baptism, accepting Jesus, reciting some words, going down the Roman road, or participating in a church ritual. Yes, something is usually attached to the concept of what most Christians refer to as, “salvation by grace.”

Many Christians have realized that there are glaring differences among Christian churches concerning what is required for salvation, and the different explanations to salvation by grace. They realize that those who read the sinner’s prayer didn’t accept Jesus as the others did. The ones that accepted Jesus did not read the sinner’s prayer. Those who relied on their baptism put no confidence in the other two. Yet, they all say they were saved by grace. What does God say about it in his word? Listen on.
