The True Grace of God

Expounding the Truth of Sovereign Grace and Refuting the Errors of Arminianism and Calvinism

". . . I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand." (1Pe 5:12)

The first-century Christians to whom Peter wrote were standing in the doctrine of “the true grace of God.”

Are you?

Most Christians think they are, but an examination of their doctrine will almost always reveal that the “grace” they espouse is an admixture of grace and works. God does His part, and they do theirs. While the Bible teaches that faith is an evidence of eternal life (Joh 5:24), both Arminians and Calvinists have turned it into a sacrament which procures eternal salvation.

Using the Holy Scriptures, Pastor Wagner in this book expounds the “true grace of God” and refutes the errors of Arminianism and Calvinism. Topics such as the nature of man, election and predestination, atonement, regeneration, preservation and perseverance, the purpose of the gospel, temporal salvation, twofold justification, and the unconverted elect are examined through a scriptural lens. After the Biblical teaching is set forth for each topic, the Arminian and Calvinistic positions concerning it are examined, and any truth found in them is affirmed and the errors are refuted.

Throughout the book, verses that appear to teach that salvation is acquired through something that man does are interpreted in light of verses that plainly state that salvation is wrought by the grace of God alone. Also explained is the relationship between the will and responsibility of man and the sovereignty of God.

After reading this book, may the reader exclaim with the prophet Jonah that “Salvation is of the LORD” (Jon 2:9).

Reviews of The True Grace of God

"Pastor Wagner in his latest book has successfully demonstrated that there is a better option for Bible-believers than only Arminianism or Calvinism. It is an option that gives heed to word definitions, grammar and logic: a case argued from the simple but profound declarations of the Holy Scripture which arrives at the obviously necessary conclusion. That conclusion is that the eternal salvation of God’s elect was fully accomplished by Jesus Christ in His suffering, bloodshed, death, burial and resurrection almost two thousand years ago and their final destination in glory is secure: there is nothing to be added to it to make it effectual to the individual nor nothing the individual can do to negate it."

Pastor Tim Boffey

Pastor of the Cincinnati Church - Cincinnati, OH

"This book is an excellent presentation of the truth of the sovereign grace of God. It exposes the errors of both Arminianism and Calvinism and presents scriptural answers to the difficulties and errors of both positions. It is well worth your time."

Pastor Phil Jonker

Pastor of the Grand Rapids Church - Grand Rapids, MI

"Arminianism and Calvinism are pitfalls that can be avoided if the child of God is willing to prove all things by the Word of His Grace. Chad's book is doctrinally sound, well-versed and categorized. I would encourage seeking and studious sheep to read it for the scholarly work that it is. Dig in."

Pastor Brian Dupont

Pastor of Good Ground Baptist Church - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

"The true grace of God is a topic that is on the one hand so fundamental to Christianity, and on the other hand so greatly misunderstood. The two prevailing theological viewpoints on the topic of salvation, Calvinism and Arminianism, are both erroneous. In The True Grace of God, Pastor Wagner systematically sets forth from the scripture the sovereign grace of God in eternal salvation and exposes the errors of these two soteriological systems. Pastor Wagner quotes about as much scripture as he puts forth his own words. Let the reader judge for himself the truth of the matter by searching the scriptures daily, comparing spiritual things with spiritual, and so prove all things and hold fast that which is good. (ACT 17:11; 1CO 2:13; 1TH 5:21)"

Eric Broyles

"Here is a book that dispels many works-based theories on acquiring eternal salvation, placing the credit where it belongs—solely with God. Pastor Wagner uses sound reasoning and solid scriptural support to disprove long-held Calvinistic and Arminian beliefs that man must do something to be eternally saved, proving that Salvation is of the LORD (JON 2:9)."

Judy Hatcher

"If ever you have doubted the love of God, if ever His goodness, or His justice, you need this book. The True Grace of God is a tapestry of scripture which one may behold and say with relief, as Thomas, 'My Lord and my God.'"
