Living In Grace Carolyn Ann Bardsley

Living In Grace is the author's testimony of how she lives in grace and the significant difference it has made in her life. Living in grace shifts us from trying to live beliefs in our mind to believing in our heart where our Lord and Savior resides. Grace, as it is commonly understood, is God's unmerited favor. This definition of grace is impoverished because it makes grace a characteristic of God rather than the presence of His Spirit within our heart. It is from our heart that we are to listen and follow Him. Grace is God's divine influence upon our heart and His expression in and through us. Jesus demonstrated how to live in grace. He repeatedly emphasized that He said and did nothing but what Father God did in and through Him. We are to live as Jesus did by receiving and surrendering to God's Spirit within our heart. We are to listen and heed His voice and promptings from within. Early Christians understood the importance of living in grace. Their epistles in the New Testament start and end with the word grace. This book is written for those who have submitted their life to Christ, yet have not entered the freedom and victory of living in grace that Jesus made possible for us. The purpose of this book is to increase your understanding of: How to come out from under the burden and bondages of trying to live by Scripture beliefs and laws and enter into the freedom and victory of living in grace by believing in Christ-God's Spirit-within your heart. How to have faith in a Living God rather than just having knowledge about God from the Bible. How to have a faith based on the Spirit of Truth in your heart rather than knowledge in your mind. How to hear God speak with you and develop a love relationship with your Lord and Savior. Her previous book GRACE: God's Divine Influence Upon Our Heart and His Expression In and Through Our Life, is a comprehensive Biblical study of grace with over 300 Scriptures interspersed with the author's discussion about the importance of living in grace.
