Book Cover & Preview Text
Again we are reconciled to God through Christ. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18).
God wants us back!!!
I struggled with how many quotation marks to add to that statement. There’s no greater Truth (capital T) than this in the Bible. The inherent problem is that God is Holy and we are not. Reconciliation with God requires us to be holy. We’re broken not holy.
So, God engineered a solution to the problem, Jesus. Jesus, God’s son is our mediator. He saves us and returns us to rightness with God (righteousness).
I had an instructor in the Navy who would knock on his podium three times to make sure we were listening.
He did this when he was going to say something important or when something would be on the test. Here we go!
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
To be saved, to gain salvation, that’s what is essential!
“Christian” means “follower of Christ”, so let’s see what Jesus our Lord, Savior and Rabbi has to say on the matter of Salvation.

About the Book
Why is God’s church fractured? Is the unity that Christ prays for in the High Priestly Prayer out of reach in today’s world? Explore the possibilities that exist in an almost four-hundred-year-old tract written by a Lutheran theologian to unite the church spiritually in their foundation of Christ. In All Things Grace is a window into the possibilities when we truly are one with Christ.
