About

Welcome to the Grace Commentary

This commentary offers a grace-based view of scripture.

Here you will find no condemnation, no criticism, and none of the traditional calls for blood, sweat, and tears. Our focus is on Jesus—who he is, what he has done, and what you can do because of what he has done.

The Grace Commentary emphasizes God’s unconditional love, the finished work of the cross, and the believer’s identity in Christ.

The Grace Commentary is not about how bad I am but how good God is!

The Grace Commentary draws a line between law and grace and the old and new covenants. Passages that may cause fear or confusion are interpreted in the light of the gospel.

If you have asked, “How do I read this scripture through a new covenant lens?” you have come to the right place. Using the Grace Commentary will help you grow in grace and protect you from dead works and toxic mixture.

The Grace Commentary is easy to use:

The Grace Commentary is a peer-reviewed work in progress with new material added weekly. Our hope is that the Grace Commentary will help you and your family discover all the good things that God has in store for you.

Grace and peace,

Paul Ellis
