In this unique time in history, when we have access to more information faster than ever before, knowledge and information are not necessarily making things better. While our world is in turmoil, Christianity has been marginalized and seems to have an ever decreasing impact on society. Why is this?
One reason is, in the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we have cheapened God’s grace. Cheap grace is the enjoyment of all the benefits of God’s grace without the price of repentance, forgiveness, or submission to God. Bonhoeffer’s response would be “costly grace,” which is the grace that Jesus Christ offered in the Gospels – grace that demands a response.
