Amazed by Grace

Christians often sing “Amazing Grace” on Sunday mornings. But do we really believe the words of this hymn? Today, R.C. Sproul explains what it means to be a wretch saved by the grace of God.

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” We sing that in church with great gusto and with very little belief. Do we really believe that we are wretches who have been saved by the grace of God? Do we really believe that the favors we receive from the hand of God are unmerited, unearned, and undeserved? “How could God, who is a good God, allow me, a sinner, to continue to enjoy all these benefits?” That’s the question that should be being asked.
