Uniqueness of God's Grace

Most Christians fail to understand the uniqueness of God's grace as portrayed through the Bible (not just the NT, mind you, the whole Bible).

Robert M. Horn wrote:

"It is not found in any of the world's cults or religions, nor in much of what poses for Christianity. From the Pharisee's stress on deeds to the mystic's focus on meditation, all religions emphasize human achievement. They are all bilateral agreements: God does part, we do part.... But the God of Christianity is a God of unilateral action....God acted on his own, making a unilateral declaration of grace."
