Many Christians are under the impression that God's grace and his favor are two different things--that while his grace may be a gift, his favor is something we must earn. This misunderstanding has led to destructive teachings about "prosperity" and blessings, and ultimately to lives that feel unfulfilled and inadequate. Pastor Greg Gilbert puts favor back in its rightful place, as God's gift through Jesus Christ. He shows how the favor that Jesus earned through his perfect life and sacrificial death becomes ours the moment we believe. Knowing we already have God's favor frees us to live joyous lives no matter what our physical or material circumstances. For anyone who has felt beaten down by the burden of trying to earn God's blessings, this book will provide you with a strong start on a life of confidence in God.

"In the wake of prosperity theology's perversion of the gospel, Greg Gilbert has provided a thoroughly biblical treatment of what it means to live under God's favor and blessing. As Gilbert reminds us, the gospel of Jesus Christ offers salvation from sin, not a platform for earthly prosperity. Christians are promised the riches of Christ, the gift of eternal life, and the assurance of glory in the eternal presence of the living God. Let this book shape your understanding of the blessings of salvation and the benefit of union with Christ." R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
