Dice el autor: La gracia de Dios es uno de los temas más importantes de toda la Escritura. Al mismo tiempo, es uno de los menos comprendidos. Cuando pensamos en la gracia, casi siempre pensamos en ser salvos por gracia. Eso por esto que Efesios 2:8- 9 nos es tan familiar. Incluso la literatura cristiana disponible sobre la gracia parece tratar exclusivamente con la salvación. Pero la Biblia nos enseña que no solo somos salvos por gracia, sino que...

Why is it easier to obey God than to trust Him? Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don't want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. Before long, we begin to doubt God's concern for us or His control over our lives.
