What passes for "Christian religion" today is appalling. People call Christ "Lord" but do not listen to what He says. Churches claim the Bible is God's word yet promote human teachings that defy biblical authority. Modern "Christianity" is often more about gratifying human expectations than honoring divinely revealed truth.Those who honor Christ as the head of His church will follow His full instruction. Yet, it is impossible to honor Him while at the same time doing whatever seems right in one's own eyes. All resistance against Christ is a form of unbelief, no matter who does the resisting.The correction to all religious error is simple and doable: return to Christ's original pattern, the New Testament instruction. This pattern defines how Christians are made, how they are to live, and how they are to function collectively. You do not have to be a biblical scholar to read and understand the pattern. All you need is an open Bible, an open heart, and a genuine desire to learn God's word in its proper context.

God is the One who spells out the terms and conditions of salvation-not you, not me, and not our churches. Being Born of God is thus based solidly upon sound biblical teaching rather than catering to popular or long-standing beliefs about baptism. It expounds upon the subject of water baptism in ways that you might not have ever before considered. If you wish to have fellowship with God, then you must know about baptism and its function in obtaining this fellowship.

"Grace" is a word that surfaces often in conversations about fellowship with God-and rightly so. If it were not for God's grace, no one would have any hope in overcoming the problem of sin and all the trouble it brings. All people desperately need saving grace in order to walk in fellowship with the Lord of light, love, and holiness.But just because people talk about "grace" does not mean they understand what it is, why it is necessary, and what it is supposed to do for them (or, what they are supposed to do with it). Many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, have a very limited knowledge of this fascinating gift of God-and this limitation does not serve anyone's best interest.The Gospel of Saving Grace is devoted to explaining, exploring, and expounding upon "grace" and many of its heavenly facets. The purpose for this is to give every reader a far better-and, in many cases, a far more biblical-understanding of grace in their relationship with the Lord. God wants us to "draw near" to Him: it is by grace that we do this, and it is Christ who gives life to grace.
