Grace is never cheap. It is absolutely free to us, but infinitely expensive to God… Anyone who is prone to use grace as a license for irresponsible, sinful behavior, surely does not appreciate the infinite price God paid to give us His grace.

Jerry Bridges
Jerry Bridges (1929–2016) war ein US-amerikanischer Autor, Referent und langjähriger Mitarbeiter der christlichen Jüngerschaftsorganisation The Navigators. Bekannt durch Bücher wie „Streben nach Heiligkeit“, stand er für eine reformiert geprägte Theologie, die das Zusammenspiel von menschlicher Verantwortung und der bedingungslosen Gnade Gottes betont. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er eine alltagstaugliche und seelsorgerlich sensible Orientierung, um theologische Grundwahrheiten praktisch im Alltag zu verankern.
