When man reaches the limits of this Sense Knowledge, he turns philosopher or guesser. Natural man cannot understand spiritual things. Sense Knowledge cannot find God, can never know Him, but there stands by the side of everyone a Guide to lead him into the new kind of knowledge, the new kind of life. This book shows the contrast between Sense Knowledge and The Revelation Knowledge which we receive only from the Word of God. Sense Knowledge faith is in what man is, and can do, and has done. Revelation faith is in the Word of God, "That liveth and abideth forever."

    In Romans 3:23-24, Paul writes, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through redemption that is in Jesus Christ.” God’s grace is fully demonstrated in the work of Jesus Christ; His suffering, death, resurrection and ascension. Only this grace can save a man from the wrath of God. The Gospel According To Grace clearly proclaims the truths of God found in the book of Romans. To know His grace is to know the abounding love that He has for mankind, and to know and receive the love of God is to be truly born again.
