Religion says I am blessed, forgiven, and accepted by God based on my obedience and sacrifice. But the Bible teaches I am blessed, forgiven, and accepted not by my obedience and sacrifice, but because of the obedience and sacrifice of Jesus who obeys and sacrifices himself in my place. Human religion and Christianity are diametrically opposed. One is based on human works; the other is based on God’s grace—this sets Christianity apart from what we normally think of as religion. In this brief and readable primer, Dr. Caston presents the gospel of Jesus Christ in a manner easily understood by ordinary people. Linger in these pages and you will soon find that grace changes everything!
