Grace is a very important concept in the Bible.
It is also almost exclusively a New Testament
idea because without Jesus, we have no access to
grace. Grace can be best understood with
the acronym
- God's
- Righteousness
- at
- Christ's
- Expense
Grace is a gift of righteousness that is only
made available to us through Jesus' sacrifice.
In order to understand grace, we need to
understand righteousness so that we know what
grace actually gives us.
We will look at what both the Old and New
Testaments teach us about righteousness before
we look at grace. Because Paul writes
extensively about both righteousness and grace
in the book of Romans we will spend a lot of our
study in that book as well as some of Paul's
other epistles.
