"...Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus..." (Rom. 3:24)

There is a "cheap grace" that is being emphasized in the religious world today. "Cheap grace" is the grace one bestows on himself. "Cheap grace" is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without commitment, and fellowship without obedience. "Cheap grace" is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, and grace without Christ.

"Costly grace" is the rule of Christ in one's heart. "Costly grace" causes one to take up his cross daily and follow the Lord. "Costly grace" causes one to deny ungodliness and worldly lust, and live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.
