Grace And The Atonement Of Christ

If you live by God’s Word, He will give you blessings and continue to help you succeed.

Let us do well in all that we do, because all around the world, people will see you; including God.  They will stop, look, think and say, "wow, you look like you're having a really good day."  Be a part of God's team, helping people pass their personal tests, as a good living example doing your best.

God’s grace is a word frequently used to refer to “gift from God”. In many circles, it is theological defined as God’s unmerited favor (Hughes, 1998, Ryrie, 1963). Within this

When approaching the concept of grace, many people often assume that it is “other” - a mysterious force that exists beyond human understanding. They believe that grace is a divine gift that cannot be humanly grasped because of its supernatural nature. Others believe that mediated grace - God as experienced through the senses in a purely human manner - is a vital way to bridge the ontological gap (an extreme difference in being that separates the earthly and the divine). Christian theologians from the beginning of the faith have debated the qualities attributed to this phenomenon because of its sheer importance; when dealing with vastly different elements, such as humans and God, the

"What is grace? In the New Testament grace means God’s love in action towards men who merited the opposite of love. (Definition of God's Grace)

Grace or unmerited favor given to believers from God is a word Christian can sometimes take for granted. Grace is given to people for believing in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Grace is not something people can earn or work for. It is a gift from a merciful God that loves humanity. Grace is the gospel. The Apostles of the early

I want to how my boss that I will go above the call to do a job that is placed in front of me. I want to show that a job is important enough to me that I will do what it takes to better my knowledge to fulfill a job. I want to achieve my goals for myself too. I want to do this for myself. I want to push myself to make myself better. I want to push myself to achieve something greater than what I am today. I want to allow God to help me do the next best thing for me and my family. I know I can achieve whatever God puts in front of me as long as it is his will. I can do everything that he wants me to as long as I allow him to lead me through it all. I have failed myself and God so much that I want to achieve this goal. I want to be pushed to the end of this program. I want to have the satisfaction of completing this for me, my kids, and my job. I have seen many people without higher education, go nowhere in life. It inspires me to go back so I do not end up nowhere for my kids. I want them to know that life is important, but also that God can get you anywhere in

Once I began reading “The Grace of God” by Andy Stanley, I’ll be honest; it sounded like an uninteresting read. How many different occasions have I sat in church over the course of my life and have heard about “The Grace of God” and how His mercies are new every day. I actually thought to myself, seriously what else is there to grace? Then I actually started reading the book and I must say that I was blown completely away. Comes to find out, I knew a very limited amount about God’s Grace before reading Mr. Stanley’s book, but now I can sincerely say that I have a far more broaden admiration for the Grace of God. Most people in Christianity, including myself, before reading this book, think that Grace is a “New Testament” thing and really can’t see Grace in the Old Testament.

Our first thoughts of grace may be poise, finesse, beauty and agility. Still, God's Grace is sufficient, it is adequate for the purpose and it is enough for us. Grace is God's presence, God's favor and God's power.

when I searched the web for the definition of grace Google gave me three different ideas on this word. the first one is the Christian view of grace. a gift received to us by God. the second, a type of movement that is elegant and refined. the third, a verb. to honor someone or something by ones presence. I am not telling you that one of these is the correct definition but simply saying that all of these combined, I believe, is the true definition of grace.

So what is grace and its purpose? Are we as the Church really living holy?

It can be said that in God's eyes, Christians are only dirty glasses which are stained inside and out with their own sin. These glasses were once clean, not plagued with stains. Now the glasses bear with them these ugly stains, the stains of sin and wrongdoing. The dirty glasses had to accept their punishment for becoming dirty, and the punishment was being destroyed by a hammer. The hammer is God's instrument against sinners. As the hammer made its decent on the glass, a pan covered the glass and took the blow of the hammer to save the glass. This pan represents Jesus because Jesus sacrificed himself to God so that God would forgive us for our sins.

That is all that He asks of us, and it is He who gives us the power to do so. Even our desire for an improved life comes from Christ. We need not trust ourselves, for we can do nothing of ourselves. Though our outward appearance may show refinement, we have no power within to change our inner desires, our selfishness. All the hosts of heaven are enlisted to battle together with Christ in the working of your salvation. What more could we ask? "Every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17). Christ alone is our true success. His love for you surpassed death, and He promises you a crown of life if you will only accept it.

Christian theologians have debated the meaning and the role of grace for many centuries. Nevertheless, grace can be described in many ways, according to many different people. Regarding the many definitions of this word, this paper will not be defining the physical meaning of grace, but it will utilize the transcendent denotation that refers to God. According to the Oxford dictionary, grace is defined as “the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.”(Oxford) In addition, the online etymology dictionary states that the word grace derives from the Latin word gratia—which means “pleasing quality, good will, gratitude.” (Harper) These two explanations of the word grace expounds

Christianity is a faith based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Fisher, 1991) Christianity is a one God religion as presented in the New Testament. Today, Christianity and the church are culturally diverse, even in the aspects of race. It is even said that Sunday mornings is the most segregated time in the world. There is one central belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, all Christians can come to this conclusion. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and that we are all under the judgment of God because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Other religions may often depict that it is only necessary to do some good when it comes to God in order to
