GRACE

'The true preaching of the gospel of salvation by grace alone always leads to the possibility of this charge being brought against it. There is not better test as to whether a man is really preaching the New Testament gospel of salvation than this, that some people might misunderstand it and misinterpret it to mean that it really ammounts to this, that because you are saved by grace alone it does not matter what you do; you can go on sinning as much as you like because it will rebound all the more to the glory of God.'
Martyn Lloyd-Jones in Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, p. 74.
