Does Your Church Really Preach Grace?

There are churches that claim to preach grace, but what they really preach is "the power to do more good works better." Think about the pulpit messages you have heard. How many of them mentioned the inadequate nature of even your best works? That you chose Christ because Christ chose you? That moral perfection isn't possible in this life? That knowing the Lord's moral laws doesn't make it possible to keep them? That Christ's death left nothing for you to contribute to your salvation at any point in your life? That you brought nothing to the table at your conversion, and to this very day you still bring nothing to the table? That the Gospel is the foundation and spirit of the entire Christian life, not just the first step? That your faith in Christ was wrought in you by God the Holy Spirit? That God's commitment to you is what will get you to heaven, not your commitment to God? A church that talks about grace only as the facilitator of good works, isn't preaching grace.
