The Means of Grace
SCHEDULED FOR PRODUCTION: Summer 2010
God has given his people many wonderful and gracious gifts, such as the forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. But he has also given us particular means by which we can receive these gifts. These means do not force God to be gracious to us. They are simply vehicles he uses to bless us.
These means of grace are familiar to all Christians, even if we don't all call them by that name. They include things like God's Word, prayer, and the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and baptism.
The Means of Grace is the third series in the course Basic Christian Doctrine.
