About This Quote
Grace saved my life” is a phrase that captures the essence of the gospel. If you are not familiar with the gospel, I have included a brief introduction below. This phrase captures the core of what it means to be a person of faith. It has nothing to do with being perfect or living up to other people’s expectations.
As John Stott once said, “Grace saved my life.” What this means is that grace doesn’t make us perfect. Grace makes us more like Jesus Christ. We are not perfected, but we are made more like him, even as he was made more like God.
Grace saves us from ourselves—from sin and its terrible results for us and for others around us.
