{"product_id":"saved-by-grace-samuel-ashford-9798254108450","title":"Saved By Grace: Faith, Mercy, Justification, and the Christian Life","description":"How is a person made right with God? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSaved by Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, Samuel Ashford addresses one of the most central and most misunderstood truths in the Christian faith: justification by grace through faith in Christ. Many people assume that religion is fundamentally about effort, improvement, moral achievement, or proving sincerity before God. Others react against this and turn grace into permission without transformation. This book shows that both paths miss the heart of the gospel. Scripture teaches something more precise, more humbling, and more hopeful: human beings cannot justify themselves before God, but God justifies the ungodly through Christ, by grace, through faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf the earlier volumes established creation, covenant, Christ, the Spirit, and the church, this book asks the next necessary question: what kind of people is the church actually made of? The answer is not the naturally worthy, the morally self-sufficient, or the spiritually self-repaired. The church is a people shaped by mercy. This volume explains why no one can put himself right before God, why law-righteousness fails, why grace must be the beginning, and why faith receives a righteousness that the sinner does not possess and cannot produce. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with doctrinal seriousness and pastoral clarity, \u003ci\u003eSaved by Grace\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the gospel does not begin by teaching sinners how to save themselves. It begins by exposing the bankruptcy of self-justification. Galatians shows why works of the law cannot justify, why legalism distorts both holiness and assurance, and why Christ redeemed His people from the curse by becoming a curse for them. Titus shows that this same grace does not leave the justified unchanged. Grace washes, renews, trains, and teaches believers how to live in the present age. Good works therefore matter deeply, but only in their proper place as the fruit of grace, never its foundation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInside this book, readers will explore: \u003cbr\u003e- why no one can put himself right before God\u003cbr\u003e- the failure of law-righteousness\u003cbr\u003e- faith and the righteousness we do not possess\u003cbr\u003e- Christ redeemed us from the curse\u003cbr\u003e- promise before performance\u003cbr\u003e- why grace is not an accessory\u003cbr\u003e- not because of righteous things we had done\u003cbr\u003e- washed, renewed, and made new\u003cbr\u003e- heirs by grace\u003cbr\u003e- the grace that appeared\u003cbr\u003e- trained to renounce ungodliness\u003cbr\u003e- living upright in the present age\u003cbr\u003e- good works in their proper place\u003cbr\u003e- against legalism and against cheap grace\u003cbr\u003e- why grace must remain at the center \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is for readers who want more than vague language about grace. It is for those seeking a deeper Bible study on faith, mercy, justification, Christ's redeeming work, assurance, holiness, and the Christian life. It is especially useful for readers interested in Galatians, Titus, justification by faith, the curse-bearing work of Christ, legalism, sanctification, and the proper relationship between grace and good works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Book 10 in the Ashford Biblical Theology Series, this volume stands at a crucial point in the sequence. After the church has been established, it becomes necessary to clarify what kind of people the church truly is. This book shows that the people of God are not built on merit, but on mercy. It helps readers see why acceptance before God cannot rest on performance, why assurance cannot survive under legalism, and why holiness only grows rightly in the soil of grace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a culture that often swings between self-righteous striving and cheapened ideas of grace, \u003ci\u003eSaved by Grace\u003c\/i\u003e calls readers back to the gospel's true center. Grace is not a reward for the worthy. It is the rescue of the undeserving. And because it is true grace, it does not leave a person unchanged. It leads sinners away from trust in themselves and into deeper trust in Christ, then teaches them how to live as those who have been received by mercy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Ashford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798254108450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Samuel Ashford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49172569293055,"sku":"9798254108450","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saved-by-grace-samuel-ashford-9798254108450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
