The Gospel of God's Grace Acts 20-24 I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the taskâ€" the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. The gospel is not human counsel, a moral code, or religious sentiment. It is the divine proclamation that the thrice-holy God saves guilty sinners freely, sovereignly, and eternally through the sin-atoning death of Jesus on the cruel cross. It is the gospel of grace, unmerited, unprovoked, and unconditional. Grace authored salvation in eternity past. Grace sent the Eternal Son. clothed in frail humanity. Grace sustained Him in Gethsemane, nailed Him to the cross, and raised Him in triumph. That same grace now calls the unworthy, convicts the hard-hearted, converts the dead in sin, and preserves them to the end. The gospel lays man in the dust, and crowns Christ with glory. It shuts every mouth and opens hearts to worship. It declares with finality that salvation is of the Lord from beginning to end. The condemned are pardoned. The dead are made alive. Rebels are adopted as sons and daughters. let us proclaim it with boldness, treasure it with reverence, and walk in its power daily. In the hands of the omnipotent Spirit, the gospel is God's gracious message that saves undeserving, ill-deserving, and hell-deserving sinners. The gospel is the refuge of the desperate, the song of the redeemed, and the everlasting praise of heaven. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me.
