“How is the indwelling Spirit not relational?” – David Crabtree
It has been said, many many times, that a “Grace only” message is dangerous and that Grace needs to balanced with appropriate use of Law and/or Truth. If we say we need to balance Grace with Law, for example, what Law do we balance it with? Do we balance Grace with the Ten Commandments? What part(s) of Law do we omit in our balancing of Grace? Let’s explore…
The notion of an angry God has no place in light of His grace and desire to declare us innocent. I want to give you a gentle reminder of one…
The Good News is still good news! It really is true that all who believe in Jesus have eternal life. Jesus didn’t add any qualifiers. Whoever believes will receive everlasting life and have passed from condemnation into freedom. The Grace of Jesus really offends religious controllers because He offers Eternal Life on the basis of His own ability to give it to all who believe. No strings attached. Wonderful news! The Apostle Paul states that we now live in the New Covenant and under a new “administration of grace” (Eph 3), and have the living presence of the Holy Spirit. We are now empowered and governed by the Holy Spirit. Grace, therefore, needs to be redefined in the context of that New Covenant.
It would be wonderful to think that GRACE is revolutionary on its own. It certainly came over that way when first presented in the New Testament. Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the coming of the Holy Spirit paved the way for the introduction of Grace. All believers in Jesus are made righteous without the need for Law. Radical? A Reformation? You bet! Grace ‘got up the noses’ of the religious folk, and still does!

UnfailingGrace.com, or the content of this website came about because of a recognised need to better understand what New Testament, or New Covenant Grace is all about. It is a much disputed subject when it really should be celebrated in its clarity. Grace is really about a good and wonderful God who grants every believer in Jesus pardon and righteousness. Furthermore, this Grace is not anaemic and weak, it is more than just a free ticket to eternal life which than has to worked for to prove the believer worthy. Grace is free and fully empowered to impart righteousness and giftedness to do the works of Jesus. Ultimately, Grace is the very presence of God.
There is so much to say about Grace. Much more than will fit into one page or even into a website. However, it is helpful to put into succinct form…
The Apostle Paul is adamant that he had taught the genuine and full gospel to his hearers. In fact, Paul’s Gospel (The Gospel of Christ) was the only complete and true Gospel. Any addition to this gospel made it a false gospel and cursed. Strong words indeed!
New Covenant Grace is the Empowering Presence of God Ask Christian believers what the definition of grace is, most will reply that it is the “unmerited favor” of God toward…
