the gospel of grace can never be reduced to a doctrine…
““the gospel of grace can never be reduced to a doctrine that demands more human doing. The gospel of grace is a divine declaration that Jesus Christ has already secured all that’s required to turn zombie corpses into chosen children. The only right response to such a glorious announcement is to discard every concern about what you must do, to cling desperately to what Christ has already done, and to call everyone around you to cling to Christ with you.””
