I am a pastor who believed in grace for salvation but thought I had to work really hard to stay there. As a child, I remember going to the altar every Sunday because I did not want to be left behind. I’ve always known that God is love, but could never reconcile this with the need to please Him all the time.

But the last three years have been amazing as my wife and I embraced the true gospel of grace! People whom I minister to are changing because instead of focusing on their behavior, we help them discover all that Jesus has done and who they are in Him. This has made all the difference!

I no longer feel like I am “theologically schizophrenic” and am at peace with myself, my family and my ministry.

A while ago, I’d called my mother to talk about how God was already pleased with us because of Christ and the depths of the gospel of grace. She got really, really quiet. When I heard her speak again, she was crying and softly said, “I always hoped God was like this, but did not think it was possible.”

Pastor Prince, if for no other reason, I am grateful for that conversation with her. She has been a believer in Jesus for over 50 years, but never experienced the peace and full grace that God has for her until then. Thank you!
