The Gospel of the Grace of God is the MOST IMPORTANT discovery I’ve made in studying the Bible since receiving Christ as Savior. It explains the PLAN OF GOD and how He’s working in the world and through His Church today.

I studied for many years to understand the truth of the Grace Gospel after I first heard about it. Our prayer is that you will be like the Bereans and “examine the Scriptures every day” to see if what we share is true.

What It Is
What is the Gospel of the Grace of God? In short, the Gospel of the Grace of God is the Gospel the Apostle Paul preached to Jews and Gentiles and wrote about in his letters. It is not the same Gospel Peter, James and John preached and wrote in their letters. All of Christ’s Apostles (i.e. Peter, James, John, Paul, etc.) preached Christ, but they didn’t all have the same Gospel message. They didn’t have the same purpose or audience either.
That may seem like a shocking statement, but it’s not. It just seems that way because a lot of people aren’t saying it. In fact, the statement is Biblical and provable. It’s also extremely helpful to Christians finding their way in the Word and the world. If you’ll spend a few moments with me, I believe you’ll see why.

Where It Came From
Who gave Paul a different message, purpose and audience? God did! God chose Paul out of the masses of humanity for something special and new. Paul’s ministry was something unknown to anyone in the world at that time. The timing was specifically in God’s hands. Paul did not choose God. God chose Paul. Paul did not choose the Gospel he would preach. God gave Paul that Gospel message, just as He gave Peter, James and John their Gospel message.
“Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.”
Acts 9:1-2
Saul later became the Apostle Paul, but in this reference he’s the angry, hostile Jewish prosecuting attorney who hates Jesus Christ and followers of His Way. He wants to kill Christ’s disciples (“murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples”). He has the power to find the disciples, arrest them and return them to Jerusalem for trial and execution (“He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues”).
But something happened to Saul that changed his life and ours forever. He met the living Christ on the way to persecute His followers.
“As he [Saul] neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’ ‘Who are you, Lord?’ Saul asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. ‘Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.'”
(Acts 9:3-6)
Christ intervened in Saul’s life in a way He had not done with any other apostle. Jesus chose Peter, James, John and the other apostles while traveling the countryside during His earthly ministry. Christ chose Saul from His heavenly throne years after His resurrection and ascension.
“The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing, so they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.”
(Acts 9:7-9)
Saul’s traveling companions could tell something amazing had happened to Saul but they didn’t know what it was. They would later be very surprised at the change in Saul’s life. We learn more about that change and what happened to Saul as we continue to read the Book of Acts.
