Pope Francis has stated that his own vocation as a Christian came
to him as an awareness that "God is ahead of us," that God thinks
about us and looks after us before we even realize it. This is the
essence of grace, a love story that begins with God. The present
book is an introduction and exploration of that story-of the
Christian life as not about humans looking for God, but God seeking
us out. The story that unfolds demonstrates that grace is not
something secondary or superficial but primary and constitutive,
from crucial beginnings in election and creation to the divine
actions of justification and renewal, fostering a life of virtue
and obedience. Within this context, the book explores the issues of
the relationship of grace and freedom, the dynamics of
justification, the true meaning of merit, life as a son or daughter
of God, the action of the Holy Spirit, the sacraments and the
Church, the role of the ascetical life, and the eschatological
horizon of the life of grace. In an accessible account, the author
narrates the doctrine of grace as directed towards and explained by
the fact that God has destined humans to spend eternity in
communion with the Triune creator.
