What is the Free Grace perspective all about? Here, Charlie explains this view in a slightly revised presentation that he has done before. The FG view begins with a clear understanding of what grace means, then the importance of faith and Jesus Christ as the object of faith. Our salvation was accomplished by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, therefore, we can add nothing to that work. Assurance of salvation comes from God's Word and the assurance the eternal security of one's salvation. It is also crucial to distinguish between salvation and discipleship. The latter deals with Christian life issues. Grace is essential for Christian growth and the best motivation to serve God. Though salvation is secure, this does not promote sin. The Bible teaches that believers are responsible for and will be held accountable for how they live at the Judgment Seat of Christ. If one does not understand these truths, the gospel can be corrupted and made ineffective. The Free Grace position is biblically sound, makes assurance possible, and is a foundation for spiritual growth.
