Grace and Truth
Truth without grace can be perceived as harsh, judgmental and burdensome. Grace without truth lacks moral grounding, leading to relativism and immorality. John 1:14 describes Jesus coming to earth “full of grace and truth.” Grace and Truth unpacks this concept and its implications in the lives of both individual Christians and Christian institutions.
