Transforming Grace

I wish I can write the whole book review for transforming grace now but as u can probably guess, I havent finish reading it. Now that uni starts, i dont think i would be able to finish the book sometime soon :(:( and i think when i have the time to read it i might have to skim read the book from the beginning to refresh my memory which means it might take a lil bit longer.

So far, the book encouraged me a lot especially when it talks about "the parable of the workers in the vineyard" It is a story about A landowner who agrees to pay his workers a denarius at the end of the day and throughout the day he keeps asking more workers to come and work for him. In the end everyone get the same amount of wages regardless of how long they have been working for. Many people would think that the landowner is unfair because some poeple have certainly work longer and harder than the other so they deserve to get more wages. I Second that, but Jerry Bridges pointed out a different point of view which is what rights do the workers have to say that they deserve better than anyone else. They agreed in the first place to work for the landowner for a denarius a day (v2). It is the landowner's land not the workers so he can do whatever he wants with his land.

Another point that he also pointed out is that, those workers who work in the lasts hours must be so grateful because they do not have to wait long to receive their payment. We would agree that they do not deserve what they get but they get it anyway which is why it is grace. It is like us who dont deserve to be saved but God chose to save us anyway through Jesus.
