Grace Intervention Quotes

“Grace seeks faith like a heat-seeking missile. In salvation, the act of faith is a raw admission of helplessness. It is abject humility reaching out empty hands. By exercising faith, you acknowledge your inability so that you might rest on Christ’s ability.”
― Bill Giovannetti, Grace Intervention: Understanding God's Beautiful Gift of Grace

“Neither free grace advocates nor lordship advocates do anybody any favors when they say, “Faith works.” Technically, it doesn’t. Christ works. Faith unites us to him. Our hope is not in salvation; our hope is in Christ. Our hope is not getting saved; our hope is in Christ. Our hope is not in praying a prayer, walking an aisle, improving our morality, or raising our hand. Our hope is always and ever and only in the One who loved us and gave his life for us.”

“If grace means God does all the work, then only faith can mesh with grace. Religion can’t, because religion requires human performance and ritual. Law can’t, because law requires human obedience. A system of morality or good works can’t mesh with grace, because grace excludes human achievement. Only faith, with empty hands laying hold of Christ’s finished work, can properly mesh with grace, in which God does all the work. Grace is faith’s docking station.”

“Instead, focus on Christ and his power, Christ and his capabilities, Christ and his invincible love for you, and Christ and his ever-present help in time of trouble.”

“Let it sink in: you don’t serve God for blessing; you serve him from blessing. Whatever you do for God can only thrive in the outflow of what God has first done for you.”
