Paul tackled the opponents of Grace throughout this wonderful first book of his writings. Having suffered much from the Jews, he was unwilling to see his converts slide back into a form of Judaism, even though it was being administered and nurtured by Jewish converts. However, in attacking this error, he, in essence, attacked all forthcoming attempts to "add things" to the Grace Gospel flowing out of Christ.
Grace is an active, live ingredient, not a passive covering. Grace is the equivalent of an umbilical between the heart of God and the heart of the spirit man. It nourishes, even when the people of God are unaware of its actions. Grace delivers the sufficiency to overcome evil and grow the inner man toward the stature of Christ. Grace, however, refuses the company of the three confrontations Paul made with the Corinthian church: immorality, division and judgmental Pharisee-ism. Grace is never a covering for sin.
“Dive into a dreamlike world of love, courage, magic, and death. Twelve-year-old Piper
can travel to the world of angels and, she learns, through time. Rushing back to the past
to correct a terrible tragedy, she learns that there are things you can change – and things
you cannot. This tale of love that transcends death, courage that transcends time, and the
power of compassion will break your heart and heal it, and then leave you still longing
for more.”
