What is our response to God's grace?

A welcome. It's another look into the life and message of Elizabeth Elliot, who called us to live to a higher standard

and not be satisfied with just a little empty religion in life as a shallow substitute

for what we could have.

As our series continues in the coming weeks, we'll hear from family, from friends, from others who were influenced by the life and message of Elizabeth Elliot.

Well, whether it's your first time joining us or one of many times, thanks for coming along with us today.

Well, we're beginning a new series today. It's just a five-part series

on God's Grace and our response. The programs are the definition of Grace and he giveth more grace.

Later on we'll be hearing from Dr Richard Blackaby

as he tells us about going to a bookstore with his dad

and finding a book by Elizabeth

Elliot and the impact her ministry had on his family. Also we'll hear from Abe

van der Poi a little bit later. First though it's part one of God's

grace and our response. As you hear about a commuter train conversion about manifesting Christ in daily life.

And what exactly is the definition of this word we use so much?

Grace?

You are loved with an everlasting love. That's what the Bible says. And

underneath are the everlasting arms. This is your friend Elizabeth Elliot talking today about grace and response.

The grace of God and the way you and I can respond to that wonderful, amazing matchless grace.

My husband, Lars, and I had dinner some time ago with a man named John who was telling us a wonderful story about his

conversion. It began on a commuter train. He said he used to notice this very nice

man always waiting for the same train on the same platform.
