#122 - Surprised by Grace

What makes Christianity different than any other religion in the world?  Have you ever thought about it?  There is of course Christ, who died and rose from the dead, but in practice, what makes our faith unique? It's not a set of rules or things you must do to earn favor with God, quite the opposite. It's grace. 

Grace is sometimes thought of as unmerited favor, or the acrostic, God's Riches At Christ's Expense. It's getting something we don't deserve. It's so important though that if we lose our understanding of grace, we lose that uniqueness, and end up like any other religion that has or will exist. 

Grace is a surprise, it's one of the reasons that the world doesn't understand what Christ did. Without grace the everyone struggles in a world of ungrace to find acceptance from others, they struggle for joy, for hope, for assurance. All of these are wrapped up in grace.

So follow Charlie today's podcast as he helps you to better understand what grace is and why it's so important and unique.
