Understanding grace is essential for developing a deeper relationship with God. In this interview, author Kendrick Diaz discusses his new booklet "God's Gift of Grace," offering valuable insights into this fundamental biblical concept.

Grace extends beyond religious context, originally referring to unearned favors or gifts. The Old Testament demonstrates this through stories like Ruth gleaning in Boaz's fields – an act of unmerited favor that illustrates grace in its basic form.

The booklet explores several key aspects of grace:

• Its historical and non-religious usage
• God's various spiritual gifts offered through grace
• Our responsibility to God after receiving His grace
• Clarification of commonly misinterpreted passages

Notably, grace appears frequently in the Old Testament, challenging the misconception of a harsh, unreasonable God. The story of Noah exemplifies this, foreshadowing the gospel message through God's grace in saving humanity from destruction.

The booklet addresses common misunderstandings, particularly the notion that grace permits sinful behavior without consequence. Instead, it emphasizes that while God's grace is abundant, it requires proper response and respect.

Key benefits readers can expect:

• Deeper understanding of God's mercy and kindness
• Clarity on the biblical concept of grace
• Practical insights into living under God's grace
• Better comprehension of our relationship with God
