The Compelling and Costly Grace of God

January 14, 2013 | by David Mathis

For all eternity, God’s people will marvel at the splendor of his grace. Ephesians 1 tells us three times, in one long sentence, that God does all he does “to the praise of his glory” (verses 6, 12, and 14) — and that this glory is “the glory of his grace” (verse 6).

Bob Glenn, pastor of Redeemer Bible Church here in the Twin Cities, loves to celebrate God’s compelling and costly grace. When we had Glenn in the studio recently to record an episode of Theology Refresh, he insisted we not give him the topic ahead of time, but on the fly. We obliged, but served him up a theme in his wheelhouse. We think you’ll be helped by what Glenn has to say about God’s amazing grace.
