While he was on vacation in the Swiss Alps, he heard the Lord talking to him. God told him, “Son, you are not preaching grace.” He replied saying, “What do you mean, Lord? That’s a real low blow!” He added, “I’m a preacher of grace. I have been a grace preacher for years, and like most preachers, I preach that we are saved by grace!” The Lord responded to him saying, “No. Every time you preach grace, you preach it with a mixture of law. You attempt to balance grace with the law, like many other preachers, and the moment you balance grace, you neutralize it. You cannot put new wine into old wineskins. You cannot put grace and law together. Son, a lot of preachers are not preaching grace what Apostle Paul preached grace.” He ended with this statement: “If you don’t preach grace radically, people’s lives will never be radically blessed and radically transformed.”
After this revelation, His ministry changed. He no longer mixed the Old Covenant with the New Covenant. When Pastor Prince started out, he had a congregation of about 150 people, today New Creation Church has over 30,000 members! This is a testament to the gospel of grace. There is probably no way to track his, “Top 10” best quotes. The title was a bit of Clickbait lol, so I would just like to share with you some of my favorite quotes from Him. These are in no particular order. I hope you enjoy!

What is your favorite Joseph Prince quote?
I grew up in an environment where sin was as poisonous as drinking water.I always feel ashamed n condemn when I make a mistake and I even thought God was going to kill me because of what some senior men of God preached about God anger against man.but glory be to Jesus when I bought Joseph Prince book”unmerited favor”.it changed my mentality and attitude complete.thanks be to Jesus I have introduced it to my friends and I can preach about GRACE to others.Hallelujah.
So glad to hear that Joseph! Sometimes we can feel so condemned that we need to understand the no condemnation that Christ brings. That is one great book! It is great to share the love that you have received. What an awesome story!
