I just had to share this message with you today. It is that important. I’d been going over this timeless read and listened to it while running the trails out here near our new home in Leavenworth, Kansas. All of Grace is written by one of the finest men and leaders of the 19th century, The Prince of Preachers.

Charles Spurgeon has written the meditative devotional for the unbeliever who’s pondering the truth. Charles takes you on a journey as the unbeliever converts and becomes more like Christ.

All Of Grace Summary

This meditative devotional gets right at the heart of Christian theology. This read helps an unbeliever see they can be saved by God’s grace, and by His grace, we are made holy, persevering to the end. This is an excellent piece for new believers and those who struggle or doubt.

Charles Spurgeon has a gift for speaking the truth with metaphors and analogies. He lived from 1834-1892, born in Kelvedon, Essex; Charles became a Christian in 1850. He is a unique writer and speaker. A man of his ability only happens every few generations.

He has produced many publications that are accepted in most denominations. He was only 20 years old when he became pastor at New Park Street Church in London. Thousands of people would come to hear him preach in the late 19th Century.

“For a while, we were still weak, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6 (ESV)

All of Grace addresses sin and helplessness.

The believer and nonbeliever who will read this book is reminded who Christ died for. The book deals with sin by introducing us to Jesus, His greatness, and His redemption. Without God’s grace, there would be no forgiveness, no salvation for our sins, and no relationship with God.

Salvation is God’s work from start to finish. Grace is heavenly gold that God gives us. Grace is the fountain that gives life. You are reminded that you cannot change your heart or sinful desire, but you can submit to Him.

With faith comes repentance, which is the tearing away from sin and to Jesus for help. Repentance should become a part of your life because sin is in our daily lives. Faith is a vehicle in which God uses to deliver growth, imparting grace to us.

There are three stages of faith.

Knowledge – your mind receives and processes information. Belief – open and enlightened by the Holy Spirit, you believe the truth. Trust – the last ingredient for completion

“And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,” Romans 4:5 (ESV)

Everything we have comes from God, and we cannot do anything to contribute to it. We cannot trust in repentance but Christ, who grants repentance. It is God’s grace that will preserve us.

God is the author and finisher.

If you want to know more about beauty and Jesus Christ, this is the book to meditate on. It won’t be for the perfect or easily offended. This book is full of sound essential doctrine.
