John Newton, the writer of the magnificent hymn, “Amazing Grace,” knew what grace meant. Did you ever hear his story about how he had been a former slave trader? They said of him that he could curse for an hour without repeating any of the same expletives. No one could stand his company for long. He became a slave in Africa and even then continued his reprobate living. Eventually, God saved him and made him into a fearless gospel minister. Newton knew that grace was undeserved, unmerited and unearned. He was aware that God did not owe him anything. He grasped too well that his sin had exposed and revealed his wretch nature. He understood that God was not obliged to save and forgive him. He comprehended he had been saved by grace, and he was amazed. He recognized through many dangers, toils and snares that Grace had caused him to endure. He saw that Grace could not fail, and in this knowledge, he boldly declared that grace would bring him home.To Newton, Grace was amazing! However, in this day and age, there seems to be a diminishing number of professed believers who actually believe that salvation is by amazing grace. Salvation, they argue, is due to the free will of man. In other words, it’s a do it yourself kit! If, however, salvation is a do it yourself kit, how then can we be amazed by grace? If, indeed, man is, by his free will, responsible for salvation or he becomes a co-worker with God in redemption, then he is not saved by grace. Mind you, that doesn’t stop him from singing the song, “Amazing Grace” with gusto. Unfortunately, “Amazing Grace” is the most sung yet most disbelieved song ever. In the following pages, we will examine just how amazing grace really is. May the reader be blessed, challenged and helped to see the magnificence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, may we all come to the conclusion that grace really is amazing!
