#1

In 2004, a teenager in New York City was able to throw a twenty-pound turkey through a woman’s windshield, breaking every bone in her face. The media ran with the story, and people were outraged. But it was the victim who asked for leniency.

#2

When love is returned for evil, we can’t help but stop and stare. Grace is shocking, like the heavenly converse of a traffic accident. It renounces the entire conventional wisdom of social behavior.

#3

The idea of grace has the power to transform people. It is the magnificent ideal by which Paul would measure his life and yours. It is the same power that transformed a ruthless slave trader to a timeless troubadour of liberation.

#4

John Newton, a pastor, wrote the famous hymn Amazing Grace in 1773. It was not until the nineteenth century that the familiar melody was created. The original hymn was titled Faith’s Review and Expectation.

#5

The final stanza of Amazing Grace, which was written by Edwin Othello Excell in 1909, replaced verses four, five, and six with four lines that John Newton never wrote.

#6

The hymn Amazing Grace was first published in a hymnal in 1850, and it has since been used at many events of magnitude. It has become a de facto national anthem for events of magnitude.

#7

The hands of John Newton were empty. He had no formal education, and spent his youth rebellious and mixing and matching convenient ideas to create his own religion. He was taken prisoner at age 17, and two years later he was married. But he was troubled by fits and seizures that precluded a life at sea.

#8

The lightning is grace. It is the unmerited favor or kindness shown to one who is utterly undeserving. It is not just a free gift, but a free gift to those who deserve the exact opposite.

#9

Grace is the broad outline of the great idea. It is the gift unsought, unmerited, and unlimited. It comes from God, and it acts on us. It is the bridge over a chasm that seemed infinite between our depravity and His holiness.

#10

The Old Testament uses the word mercy to describe God withholding the punishment we deserve. Grace is God not only withholding that punishment but also offering the most precious of gifts instead.

#11

A moment of grace can change a lifetime. In fact, a moment of grace can change an eternity.

#12

If you’re suffering from guilt or a slip-sliding self-image, skim back over chapter 1 and underline the phrases that most impress you, like: I forgive you. . God always pours His grace into empty hands. Unmerited favor. Unlimited. Grace is a five-letter word spelled J-E-U-S.

#13

The word wretch is often confused with retch, which is not its distant cousin. The word wretch comes from an Old English term meaning someone who is miserable, an exile.

#14

Grace can only shine in its ultimate brilliance because it emerges from ultimate darkness. We must confront the true enemy in clear terms. Grace is not for sinners, but for sinners who are repenting and asking for forgiveness.

#15

We are all stained by our past. None of us are righteous, and all are ruined and helpless in the sight of God. We are a world of exiles.

#16

We are all guilty of sin, and there is no one who is righteous. But there is good news: We are completely contaminated, but we are completely forgiven through the love and grace and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.
