Welcome to the Pristine Grace website

Pristine Grace exists for believers who love Christ but are worn down by religious expectations, duties, and man-made burdens. If you've grown weary of being told how to feel more spiritual, how to become a better Christian, or how to earn God's favor through effort - you're not alone.

This site offers Scripture-centered reflection on Christ and the Gospel - content rooted in the historic Christian emphasis on God's sovereign grace, the finished work of Christ, and the freedom that comes from resting in what He has already done.

Here you'll find thousands of articles, books, and sermons from trusted voices - not to add more to your plate, but to point you again and again to the One who said, "It is finished."

Pristine Grace has been maintained by Brandan Kraft since 1997.

Why "Pristine Grace"?
The gospel - pure, clear, and free (hence, pristine) - is good news because it proclaims pardon through the blood of Jesus and justification through his righteousness. It reveals an obedience that honored the law and a sacrifice for sin that removed it forever. This gospel brings glory to God and salvation to the soul. It is a revelation of sovereign mercy, love, and grace, in which each Person of the Trinity is exalted. In it, "mercy and truth meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other." Truth springs up from the hearts of humble sinners, and righteousness - satisfied by Christ's obedience - looks down from heaven.
