For deliverance from something, you don't need more law, you need more grace.

Dr. Tony Evans says grace isn't the alternative to right living. It's the doorway to right living.

It does what rulekeeping cannot do. It's stronger than your addiction. It's stronger than your rebellion.

Grace overruled it. This is the alternative broadcast, featuring the

timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans. Many people assume heaven

is reserved for those who manage to be good enough to make the cut. But today, Dr. Evans turns

that idea on its head as he reveals

what truly opens the door to eternity. Let's join him in 2 Peter, Chapter 3.

So let's look at the ingredients of grace. First of all, you need to understand, we need to

understand, that grace is always free.

Romans 324 says, justified freely by his grace.

Revelation 21 6 says it's without cost.

Revelation 22, 13 says it is without cost. There are no strings attached.

So let's get this in your mind because I know it's not normal. Grace is free.

Not only is grace free, but grace is apart from works.

Romans chapter 11, verse 6 puts it this way.

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works.

Otherwise, grace is no longer grace.

Works cancel grace. You can't work for grace. A lot of non-Christians

try to work their way to heaven. They'll tell you, I try to keep the Ten Commandments,

some nights to my neighbors. They use their work as the basis to earn a spot in glory.

When the Bible says you're not saved by works, you can't earn grace.
