Positioned to Enjoy God

These are not academic questions. The
Christian who misunderstands or
misinterprets the underlying cause of his or
her conversion can be vulnerable to legalism,
pride,self-reliance,ingratitude,condemnation,
and lack of assurance. But when we rightly
understand the nature of our conversion—
that is, when we clearly grasp the role
of God’s sovereign grace in election—we
position ourselves to enjoy, in an ongoing way,
the wonderfully life-transforming benefits
that are available only through the gospel. --CJ Mahaney
