2 Grace Is Not a Thing The great American theologian, Al Pacino once said, I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. Pacino s statement taps into a tension that we all sense intuitively but maybe have not expressed explicitly. If God is forgiving, then why strive for a holy life? If the penalty has been paid, then why must progress be made? I believe the tension felt here ultimately comes from a confused view of grace. What Is Grace? Grace is one of those big, beautiful Bible words that has also been misunderstood and misapplied throughout history. Grace is not a thing. Grace is not stuff that God gives us. Roman Catholicism has traditionally taught that grace is a quality that God injects or infuses into people so that they can obey His will and earn His blessings. Others try to limit the power of grace, teaching that grace can only get a person so far; we have to apply ourselves to doing acts of love or make the right decision for Jesus to finish the job. Grace, however, is a quality in God. In fact, it defines who the true God is and what He does. For example, when God revealed Himself to Moses on Mount Sinai, He declared, The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness (Exodus 34:6). The standard catechism definition of grace is God s undeserved love. Yet grace is deeper than that. It is the love that moves God to act for those who cannot act for themselves and need His loving action. God acts in grace simply because God wants to act in grace. That is who God is and what God does. Martin Luther defined grace this way: Grace means the favor by which God accepts us, forgiving sins and justifying freely through Christ (Luther s Works Vol. 12, p. 376). Lutherans confess: It is by grace alone that we have been rescued from the curse and condemnation of sin. (Rom 3:23,24) It is by grace alone that we have been given new life as one of God s children (Ephesians 2:4,5). It is by grace alone that we have been given the gift of eternal life (John 3:16). The Formula of Concord (III:9) states this clearly and precisely. We unanimously believe, teach, and confess the following about the righteousness of faith before God... A poor sinful person is justified before God, that is, absolved and declared free and exempt from all his sins and from the sentence of well-deserved condemnation, and is adopted into sonship and inheritance of eternal life, without any merit or worth of his own. This happens without any preceding, present, or subsequent works, out of pure grace, because of the sole merit, complete obedience, bitter suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord Christ alone. This is what makes grace such a big, beautiful, comforting Bible word. Our forgiveness, our right standing before God, and our eternal home in heaven are certain and secure entirely out of pure grace. That pure grace is centered in Jesus completed work for us. Grace alone means that our salvation, from beginning to end, is accomplished. Lutherans understand this, proclaim it, confess it, and find comfort and confidence in grace alone. Five Misconceptions about Grace Grace is permission to sin. If God graciously forgives sin, then why struggle for a sin-free life? I m good at sinning, God is good at forgiving; it s a match made in heaven, right? This common mindset presumes that it s God s job to forgive our sin. He s God that s just what He does. But the minute we presume upon grace, it is no longer grace. Grace is not permission to sin, it is the power to overcome sin. By grace God forgives sin and transforms sinners into saints. Holiness is not a prerequisite for grace; it is a product of grace.

3 Grace fills the gaps Do your best and God will do the rest. According to this understanding, we do most of the heavy lifting on our own, and then God spots us on the last few reps when we re tired. How nice of God to finish off what we start. The problem with the grace fills the gaps thinking is that it vastly underestimates the extent of sin. The Bible does not say we are people who need help crossing the finish line. It says we are spiritual corpses who need to be given life. When you align with the biblical teaching that sin touches every aspect of our being, then you also realize that grace isn t just needed to polish off your moral achievements; grace is the beginning, middle, and end of the Christian life. The more honest you are about sin, the more your heart will rejoice in grace. Grace is God letting up on His standards. Most people think that in the Old Testament God was obsessed with holiness and upheld an almost unrealistic standard for His people. Keep the rules was the banner of heaven. But then in the New Testament, God must have woken up on the right side of the cloud and finally decided to lower His standards and just love people for who they are. Right? Wrong. Grace is not God letting up on His law but sending His Son to fulfill it. Jesus lived a perfect life, keeping the covenant and fulfilling the law where God s people had previously failed. By the renewing effects of the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit the Christian can live a life of love that begins to align with the holy standards of God s law. Grace opposes effort. If it s all about grace then clearly it s not about effort. Or so it seems. But, Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Christians therefore, should work hard, strive, and toil but we do so not for Grace but from grace. Because of the gospel, we are motivated not by guilt but by gratitude. And the gospel is the greatest motivating power in the world, propelling followers of Christ to love their neighbor, do justice, and share the gospel. Philippians 2:12-13 describes this type of grace-driven effort: work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Grace is for godly people. As much as people may not say this explicitly, many believe it deep down. It results from the simple misconception that God loves good people rather than that God s love makes people good. But the Bible is not a story of God looking for good people, but one of God redeeming sinful people. And that should come as good news. Grace is for ungodly people, but it transforms them into godly people. We must understand this, because a belief in Christ apart from devotion to Christ is more about fleeting emotions than lifelong commitment. Three Enemies of Grace Pride. Why would anyone turn down a free gift? Because if I don t earn it, then I can t take credit for it. This is why grace is a difficult concept for accomplishment-driven people. But the greatest enemy of grace is the idea that I don t need it. This is apparent in the notion that religion is a crutch for weak people. But grace is not a crutch for the weak, it is a foundation for the honest. So if I am honest with myself, I know I need far more than a crutch, I need a new heart. Grace doesn t prop me up, it transforms me from the inside out. We resist grace because we want the glory. Entitlement. Entitlement is a three-step process: (1) receive a gift with gratefulness, (2) get used to a gift with routine, and (3) demand a gift as a right. This is a blind spot for many American Christians, and one with dangerous consequences. The minute you think you deserve grace you dissolve its power. Grace makes people grateful, but entitlement strangles out grace. Self-Pity. If pride says I don t need grace and entitlement claims I deserve grace, then this last view is the self-pitying plea that I m not good enough for grace. This sentiment is often expressed by saying something like, I know God can forgive me, but I just can t forgive myself. This sounds humble and self-effacing, but it s actually quite pretentious. Either (a) you have a higher moral standard than God, or (b) you doubt the sufficiency of Christ s atoning death. God is a greater savior than you are a sinner. Trust that His grace is sufficient. God s love meets us where we are, but it refuses to let us stay there. This is because when the grace of God takes root in your heart then it produces fruit in your life. God s grace is not a matter of lowering His standards, it s a matter of transforming His people.

10 VACATION TIME God doesn t take a vacation from us; let s not take a vacation from Him! When planning your vacation, check out churches in the area at Baptized Into Christ Much of the denominational world says that baptism has nothing to do with our salvation, but let s see what the Bible says. Notice that it is baptism that puts us into Christ so that we can be saved. Galatians 3:27 says, "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Baptism is the only way a person can get into Christ. The preposition into indicates a change of relationship. You can search from the front to the back of your Bible, and you will find no other way to get into Christ except by being baptized into Christ. What is the advantage of being baptized into Christ? Ephesians 1:3 says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ." This verse tells us that every spiritual blessing is located in Christ. Only those who are in Christ can enjoy these spiritual blessings. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." If one is in Christ, he has become a new creation. This is how we are born again. The Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 2:10, "Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory." Here we see that salvation is located in Christ, and for one to be eligible for salvation, he must be in Christ. It will be a horrible thing for a person, who thinks he is saved, when he stands before the Lord on the Day of Judgment, if he is still outside of Christ. He will have no salvation. He will be lost eternally in Hell. In 1 John 5:11 we read, "And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." Only those who have been baptized to be saved are in Christ and have the promise of eternal life. Those who are outside of Christ have no promise of eternal life but are lost.

11 By Rev. Jason Braaten Immanuel Lutheran Church Tuscola, Ill. The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod LCMS Stewardship Ministry June 2018: Newsletter Article There are three conversions necessary to every man: the head, the heart, and the purse. Attributed to Luther, though yet to be located in his vast writings, this statement echoes what Jesus taught about hearts and treasures. He said, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matthew 6:21; Luke 12:34). But which conversion comes first? I submit that the order is this: first the head, then the purse, then the heart. Let me explain. Our Lord Jesus Christ dwelt among us to save us. He took on our flesh, fulfilled the demands of the law in our place, became sin for us, and suffered torture and death on our behalf, in order that we would be free from sin, death, and hell. He gives us what He accomplished through Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord s Supper. And so, He doesn t just do it for us but gives it to us, makes what He did ours by making us His. Thus, we are called by His name: Christians. We have a new life in Him. Through the preaching of Law and Gospel, God grants us repentance, a changing of our minds. It is a conversion of the mind. We are called to turn away from our sins and turn toward Him for forgiveness, life, and salvation. For when God calls us away from something, He is, at the same time, calling us to something. And thus, He calls us to a new life, with new deeds. This is the conversion of the purse. Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24). For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Notice that our hearts follow our treasures, not the other way around. As Christians, God calls us to invest our treasures in His Kingdom to ensure that the gospel is preached and the sacraments are administered. He calls us to share all good things with the one who teaches us the doctrines of Christ. He calls us to be generous in giving to the church, for it is more blessed to give than to receive. So where is your treasure? If it is not invested in the kingdom of God, then the only response is repentance a conversion of the heart and to begin doing just that. And as our Lord promised, where your treasure is there your heart will be also. This is not to say that you earn your way into heaven. It is simply to say that as Christians, those who have been made to be temples of the Holy Spirit, who have been given a new life in Christ, who are dead to sin and now alive in Him, we are, actually, to live think (conversion of the mind), do (conversion of the purse), and be (conversion of the heart) a new life in Him. And when you fail, know that God in Christ loves and forgives you and still calls you away from that and to Himself.
