"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8
Grace is the free and sovereign favor of God, lavished on those who deserve nothing but wrath. It is not earned by merit, stirred by effort, or repaid by deeds. It flows from the eternal love of the Father, secured by the blood of the Son, and applied by the power of the Spirit. Grace does not merely offer a helping hand—it descends into the pit, and raises the dead to life!
Grace pardons the guilty, purifies the defiled, and preserves the redeemed. Grace is not a passive sentiment but a divine force that saves, sanctifies, and secures. Grace finds the sinner helplessly lost in sin, clothes him in Christ's righteousness, and crowns him with everlasting joy. Grace is not attracted to the good in man—it is moved by the goodness of God.
From Genesis to Revelation, grace is the melody of redemption. The law exposes our ruin—but grace reveals our Redeemer. And what a Redeemer He is! Full of grace and truth, Jesus Christ is the fountainhead of every spiritual blessing. All that we are and all that we hope to be flows from Him.
To magnify grace, is to magnify God. To rest in grace, is to abandon every confidence in self. Let us wonder with trembling joy that we were chosen, called, justified, and will be glorified—all of grace. As Paul confessed, so may we: "By the grace of God I am what I am!" Let grace strip us of pride, anchor us in Christ, and move us to live wholly for the glory of the One who gave us everything—freely.

About Arthur W. Pink

Pristine Grace functions as a digital library of preaching and teaching from many different men and ministries. I maintain a broad collection for research, study, and listening, and the presence of any preacher or message here should not be taken as a blanket endorsement of every doctrinal position expressed.
I publish my own convictions openly and without hesitation throughout this site and in my own preaching and writing. This archive is not a denominational clearinghouse. My aim in maintaining it is to preserve historic and contemporary preaching, encourage careful study, and above all direct readers and listeners to the person and work of Christ.
