Description

We're saved by the free gift of God—but how free is that gift when our lives are demanded in return?

Many Christians are confused by the relationship between the grace of God, and the role of laws and commands in the Christian life. What does it mean to live a life of grace? How does grace help us grow? And are we "once saved always saved?" In this short, readable book, Michael Jensen explores the Bible's teaching on these important questions and delivers some surprising conclusions.

This great little book will warm your heart and stretch your mind. Rediscover why grace is so central not just in becoming a christian but also in every day discipleship. Clear, biblical, accessible and engaging: read and enjoy!

Grace is indeed amazing, and yet too often it is not properly understood or appreciated. Michael Jensen’s book, Is Forgiveness Really Free? will help many to understand and marvel at the profound wonder of God’s grace in Jesus Christ. Grace makes all the difference. And this biblical, Christ-centred book, shows us why.

Sam Allberry

The free grace of God in Christ is at once the most simple and most complex truth of Christianity. It is also the most important, and so we need the engaging writing and clear thinking Michael Jensen brings to the issue in this book.  The chapter on 'Why does God give grace to some and not to others?' is worth the price of the book alone. I look forward to using it in our church.

Is forgiveness really free?

Dave McDonald, Macarisms, 2 Sep 2014

I found this book pointed me back to the important truths of grace from the Scriptures and reminded me that “but for the grace of God go I” goes far beyond a cliche. It’s the foundation of a life lived in the transforming power of God.... continue reading

“A simple primer on grace”

(Review written for 'Is forgiveness really free?')

This little book grapples with the issues of grace and the law. It is written fairly simply so would be useful for a new Christian hitting these issues for the first time. It isn't long enough to develop the issues, for example, the last chapter on "how bad are human being really" majors on the Pelagian heresy and Augustine's response rather than a clear biblical explanation of our total inability to help ourselves in any way to even respond to God's grace (total depravity). Nevertheless there is some clear teaching in the chapters on whether grace is free and what the place of OT law is.
