Boundaries of Grace addresses one of the most practical needs in Christian living: learning when to say yes and when to say no before God. Many Christians confuse love with unlimited availability, mercy with enabling, forgiveness with the removal of consequences, and service with spiritual exhaustion. Others misuse boundaries as an excuse for selfishness, harshness, or withdrawal from responsibility. Scripture rejects both errors.
With clear biblical reasoning, Edward D. Andrews examines how grace governs conscience, family loyalty, friendship, work, money, ministry, forgiveness, correction, false teaching, and daily weariness. This book shows that human beings are limited creatures under the authority of Jehovah, not saviors, controllers, or substitutes for another person’s obedience.
The Christian life requires compassion without moral compromise, forgiveness without excusing sin, service without people-pleasing, and obedience without carrying burdens Jehovah has not assigned. Above all, this volume points to Jesus Christ as the perfect model of holy boundaries: obedient to the Father, compassionate toward sinners, clear with hypocrites, and faithful even unto death.
This book is for Christians who want their lives governed by Scripture, strengthened by grace, and protected from the false guilt, sinful pressure, and spiritual confusion that drain faithful obedience.
