The Grace Factor

I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. (Romans 8:38-39—The Message)God has not given up on you or forgotten you! The Father has always loved you. He has never stopped loving you. There is not one single thing that you have to do to gain or regain your Father’s unconditional love. There is also nothing that you can do to make Him stop loving you. Jesus is The Grace Factor, and He is reaching from heaven to you with open arms—He longs for you above all else.Grace is what the whole gospel is based on, yet it is least experienced and talked about. If you have ever had unmet expectations, feel that you are too far out of reach to be helped, don’t deserve forgiveness, have made bad choices or mistakes, have felt rejected by the religious crowd, have been hurt or wounded by others’ words or actions, are struggling with regret, or feel that you are not worthy of God’s love or acceptance—this book is for you. The Grace Factor explores the power of God, revealing why He gave us grace and the role it plays in our personal lives and in our mandate to reach the world with the love of the Creator.
