The Roots of Endurance
(Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2002), 27
Redeeming pardon and transforming power
The biblical call to endure in faith and obedience is a call to trust the Christ-purchased, empowering grace of God. God’s grace is first the gift of pardon and imputed righteousness; then it is the gift of power to fight the good fight and to overflow in good deeds. Christ died to purchase both redeeming pardon and transforming power.
