Welcome to the first edition of our teaching series, Simple Gospel Simple Grace! As a college student, I made a vow to God. "God, I know I've been a disappointment to you. Thank you for a clean slate and for the opportunity to start fresh in college. From this day forward, I promise to by your guy." That promise didn't last very long. We often make promises to God regarding our actions, thoughts, speech, etc. There is a disconnect between what we want to do and what we do. As Paul said in Romans 7:18 "I have the desire to do what is good." We incorporate human effort to bring it about, and we fall flat on our face every time. We need to understand the grace of God. As Martyn Lloyd-Jones wrote, "The Christian life starts with grace, it much continue with grace, it ends with grace." The Christian life is simply grace from start to finish. (Introduction, page 1)
