Opis

Grace is a highly used word in Christian circles and doctrines, but what is it? One definition that is probably most prominent: "God's unmerited favor." Usually, this is construed as God's forgiveness of our sins. A study of the Bible shows that God's grace is much more than favor; it is God's power working in us to accomplish his will. Paul wrote, "for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." Philippians 2:13 God's grace is the power of God working within us "to will and to act according to his good purpose." Grace is the sacrifice of God to bring forgiveness so that our relationship with him can be reconciled. Grace is the sacrifice and giving of his Holy Spirit to live within man so that he can be redeemed from an empty, wicked life and become purified so that our lives are filled with true life, who is Jesus. Jesus taught us to pray "your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). Grace is the power of God working in and through us to make this happen. This is a biblical study of God's powerful grace.
