So [God] supplies perfectly measured grace to meet the needs of the godly. For daily needs there is daily grace; for sudden needs, sudden grace; for overwhelming needs, overwhelming grace. God’s grace is given wonderfully, but not wastefully; freely but not foolishly; bountifully but not blindly.

John Blanchard
John Blanchard (1932–2021) war ein britischer Evangelist, Prediger und apologetischer Buchautor mit reformiert-evangelikaler Ausrichtung. Weite Bekanntheit erlangte er durch evangelistische Veröffentlichungen wie „Ultimate Questions“ sowie Arbeiten, in denen er klassische Lehren wie die persönliche Bekehrung, das Sühnopfer und das biblische Gericht verteidigte. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein Werk prägnante Zitate und systematische Argumente zur Auseinandersetzung mit säkularen sowie atheistischen Weltbildern.
