A Free Grace Primer
Overview
Zane Hodges’ The Hungry Inherit, The Gospel under Siege, and Grace in Eclipse are now combined under one title. For many, the Bible has come alive through the reading of these books. A Free Grace Primer promises to capture the attention of a whole new generation. This work answers the questions: How can I be sure I have everlasting life that can never be lost? What is the relationship between faith and works? How should I evangelize and disciple people? What can I do to gain the Lord’s approval?
A Free Grace Primer makes the biblical messages of life more abundantly clear and easy to distinguish. These are messages that are much needed, given the legalism that pervades evangelicalism today.
In the Logos edition of A Free Grace Primer, you get easy access to Scripture texts and to a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Hovering over Scripture references links you instantly to the verse you’re looking for, and with Logos’ advanced features, you can delve into your study like never before.

Top Highlights
“The two must never be confused. Water is water and food is food.2 And an unsaved sinner is an unsaved sinner, but a disciple is a disciple. Thus, the thirst of a disciple has already been quenched forever. He needs food. Doing the will of God. Finishing His work.” (Pages 27–28)
“To view sin as basically foreign to what we are as regenerate people in Christ, is to take the first step toward spiritual victory over it.” (Page 171)
“Man might dig wells in the earth. Only God could dig one in the human heart.” (Page 17)
“The message of life is the offer of the gift of everlasting life directed toward the unregenerate. Fullness of life is the experience of the loyal disciple. The former is water, the latter is food. The former guarantees eternal life, throughout all ages, to any who will take it. The latter promises reward and superlative joy, like the joy of a great harvest, to all who are willing to expend their labor. The former is a gift. The latter involves work.” (Page 28)
“The faith which justifies—James never denies that it does justify—can have an active and vital role in the life of the obedient believer. As with Abraham, it can be the dynamic for great acts of obedience. In the process, faith itself can be ‘perfected.’ The Greek word for perfected, suggests development and maturation. Faith is thus nourished and strengthened by works.” (Pages 140–141)
