[We are] not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. (Romans 1:16)

Our Rules

We must at all times show Christian character even with those with whom we vehemently oppose

Our Purpose

Unashamed of Grace is a friendly place to boldly proclaim, carefully study and openly engage our respective views: Dispensationalism; Free Grace Theology; and Old-School Non-Calvinism.

Blog Verse

What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness ...

  • Hi Diane

    I can’t remember all that I shared, but life has brought many challenges into my life, and God has given me mercy and grace thus far.
    Thanks again for all your kind words Diane, and I believe God uses you in peoples lives because you let His love shine through.
    It’s plain to see not only is the Lord your salvation but He is your JOY!!!!
    God Bless

    The example that Antonio gave here was so clear and true. He really caught the tragedy that takes place when the unconditional Gift is not given as Jesus gave it, it just confirms in peoples minds "nothings free" as they walk out the door.
    The theological legalist is scared to death of this message because he believes people will abuse it. But that is the chance God has taken by offering it freely, just like His love it can be abused. But just as His love it is given freely from the hand of God.
    What else would we expect from the One who gave His life on the cross even for those who would hate Him!

    Antonio has summed it up beautifully, and gave the appropriate verse:
    2 Cor 9:15
    Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
