Excerpt from Chapter I of Reign of Grace - Works of Abraham Booth, Vol 2

"That we may proceed with greater clearness and certainty in our following inquiries, it is necessary to consider what is implied in the term 'grace.' The primary and principal sense of the word is, free favour; unmerited kindness. In this acceptation it is most frequently used in the inspired volume; and thus it is to be understood in the words of the Holy Ghost under consideration. Grace, in the writings of Paul, stands in direct opposition to works and worthiness—all works and worthiness of every kind, and of every degree. . . . As the word mercy, in its primary signification, has relation to some creature, either actually in a suffering state, or obnoxious to it; so grace, in its proper and strict sense, always presupposes unworthiness in its object."

Excerpt from the first chapter, "Concerning the Signification of the Term Grace," of our latest book - The Works of Abraham Booth, Volume Two, Early Theological Works (1768-1777), edited by Zachary Williams.
