    About this ebook

    "Grace is more than just a story, it's more than just a theology, and it's more than just a powerful force—no, grace is a person, and his name is Jesus. Jesus is the grace of God."
    —Paul David Tripp
    There is nothing we can do to earn God's grace—it is a gift. Through 40 daily meditations from his best-selling devotional New Morning Mercies, popular author and speaker Paul David Tripp explores the role grace plays in the everyday life of a Christian. He reminds us that God, in his infinite mercy, can radically transform even the weakest people by the life-changing power of his grace through his Son, Jesus Christ.

      Introduction

      Grace is a thunderous, expansive, powerful, and life-altering word. Other than the word God, there is no more important word that the human mind could consider and the mouth could speak. Grace is the ultimate spiritual game changer. It is the one thing that has the power to change you and everything about you. It is what all human beings need, no matter who they are or where they are. Men and women need grace, the young and old need grace, the rich and poor need grace, the popular and forgotten need grace, and the weak and powerful need grace. You could dig into grace every day of your life and not reach the bottom of its power and glory. Grace is the bottomless, treasure-laden mine of divine help. There simply is nothing comparable to God’s amazing grace.

      Grace explodes into your life in a moment, but will occupy you for all of eternity. It is the most transformational word in the Bible that you hold dear. In fact, your Bible is the cover-to-cover story of God’s grace. It is the best of stories, the story of the undeserved redemption of lost ones and rebels. God’s word records for us how God reached into the muck and mire of our sin-broken world to rescue us, not because of what he saw in us but because of what was in him. Grace is why God sent his Son into this world to do for us what we could not do for ourselves—to transform us from what we are (sinners separated from him) into what we are becoming (Christ-like and with him forever). John Newton, in his famous hymn, really did choose the best word ever to describe God’s grace: amazing.

      Grace is a wonderful story and the best gift ever. Grace is a jewel of God’s character and the only reliable place to rest your hope. Grace is a tool that God uses to transform you, but it also defines the nature of his relationship to you. Because you are God’s child, grace is something you’ll never deserve but can always expect. Grace is a theology that you could study forever and the sweetest invitation you will ever receive. Grace will devastate you while giving you a peace of heart and a rest of soul you have never experienced before. Grace will require you to confess your unworthiness but will never, ever make you feel alone
