Theology that Helps Us Bring Glory to God Today
Our righteousness before God does not depend on any ability that we have to obligate Him to
accept and be influenced by the things that we do. It is only on the basis of the work that Jesus Christ did
in dying for us and resurrecting to give us life that we have the promise of being reconciled to God and
enjoying peace in our relationship with Him. This should move us to persistent thankfulness and constant
praise.
Grace from God is a free gift to us that is given to us to display the wonder and glory of God’s love. This
grace is not an idea but a person who has given himself to meet our deepest needs. It is our privilege to
share this gracious person with other people so that they too might come to know him and love him and
see him as the gift of God’s grace to the world.
