    About this ebook

    Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, shown in the salvation of sinners and the gift of blessings. It is also the condition of being favored by someone.

    We all have an idea of what "grace" means in terms of its definition. But do we really understand what grace means in regards to our daily life? This thirty-one-day devotional will take you through some of the most common New Testament verses regarding "grace" and help you understand what it means in your daily life and for your future. God's grace is not just unmerited favor purchased for us by Jesus Christ. It is the power by which we are saved. It is the support for daily obedience. And it is the hope of eternal glory.

    Author

    Justin Tilghman

    Justin is a singer/songwriter and speaker from eastern North Carolina. His heart for the Lord and love for people is evident from the moment you meet him. He has spent the past several years leading worship, speaking, and serving for youth retreats, conferences, colleges, and international missions teams. He also serves as a volunteer Area Director for ResponderLife, a national ministry and resource network for first responders and their families. Justin describes his ministry as one of helping people to discern what the lordship of Jesus means for their daily life and how to articulate that effectively to others who may not know Jesus. Through his own life experiences, he has learned what it means to call Jesus "Lord" of your life and what the practical implications of that commitment can be. His heart's desire is to help others learn what that means for themselves and help and challenge them to dive deeper into a practical relationship with a Savior that loved them to the point of sacrificing His life for theirs.

      Defining grace

      Notes

      This small devotion is dedicated to my wife Ellen. Without her I would have a really hard time getting my thoughts to make sense on paper. She is a special gift of God’s grace to me.

      Also, a special thanks to Jason McKnight for your thoughtful insights and suggestions.

      Thank you both for your support on this journey.

      What is grace?

      Grace. That’s a term about which we know so much and yet so little. Ask four Christians about the term and you’re likely to get four different answers. It’s a word that often escapes definition. Yet, it’s something that is so central to our faith. We are justified by it. We are sanctified by it. And we will be glorified by it as well. It is the grace of God that elects and redeems us. It is the grace of God that sustains us. So, why is it so hard to explain? Could it be that way because the one from whom it originates is so hard to explain? This devotion will take you through many of the verses that utilize the term. The goal is not to define grace. The goal is to describe it and show how it operates in our new lives. As you read each devotion, space is provided on the next page for you to work out your own thoughts and insights. Because, in the end, maybe it’s not about defining the
