The Abundance of Grace.
THE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE
SCRIPTURES YOU MUST READ: Rom 5:17, Psalm 102:13, Prob 8:35, Luk 1:30, Acts 7:46, Gen 39:20-22

LESSON: God has given us Grace, so much Grace; it is called the Abundance of Grace. Abundance of Grace means overflowing Grace. But to start what is the meaning of Grace? One of the meanings is unmerited favour that is favour you don’t deserve; another meaning of Grace is divine influence on the heart reflected in life or the outward working of an inward influence. It’s the divine influence on your heart that reveals itself on the outside. There are more meanings of Grace, but in all, Grace is God’s special blessing on your life that is showing outside so that people can tell that you are special to God, this is because whatever is deposited by that divine influence is seen on the outside. God has given us this grace in abundant and overflowing measure and all He wants you to do is to 'Take It'. He has given you this Grace but He needs you to take it and enjoy it. It’s like when someone brings you a gift on your birthday, and says ‘take’ you have to take the gift from the person to enjoy it, you won’t enjoy the gift by just looking at it while the person is holding it, same thing with God’s grace, He has given you His grace but you need to take it. And don’t take a little, take a lot God wants you to reign in this life and to reign is to be in charge or control or to have authority- and He has given you Grace and Righteousness to reign and have control over all things in your life. God doesn’t want you sick, weak or failing. In God’s mind you are a victor and a success, you are like Jesus and He wants you to see yourself the way He sees you. He doesn’t see you as a sinner, rather in His mind you are the righteous.

    Grace Vs. Judgment Response Paper

    This Chapter deals with Grace from a very Calvinistic point of view. State in your own terms the three principles Packer sees as connected to this doctrine of grace. 1. Grace is the source of the pardon of sin. This means to me that we have our own free will to ask God to forgive us, God did gives us a free will to do what we want so in accordance to this we have the right to justify ourselves even though Jesus was crucified for our sins, but it is by god’s grace and mercy that we our saved by his blood. 2. Grace as the motive of the plan of salvation. God’s love is spread to those who are pure in heart, and he reaches out to his people to reach other’s to bring them into one with Christ. Christ died on the cross for our sins and this free gift of which god gave was salvation to those who by faith believe that Jesus died for our sins. 3. Grace as the guarantee of the preservation of the saints. By this point in our Christian life’s we believe with the fullness of our hearts by faith that God’s word is the ultimate truth and that nothing will separate us from unbelieving, because of my faith in God that got me to where I am now, I am going to believe that his love is unconditional and will continue on until the end of…

    Acts of Faith

    We understand that from Patel’s visit to a Catholic Worker House he immediately sees and can even hear the diversity amongst him in this home or shelter. He hears American voices, Spanish speakers and he sees white, black and brown children all galloping around and playing with one another. Just like Dorothy Day, Patel wanted everyone to live the abundant life. Patel describe a great deal of his life to be separated into two rooms. A different way of speaking, a different group of friends in separate rooms, but here at this house; he could ultimately be himself, in one room. We know that in Patel’s younger years, he went through a series of rejections, based on his heritage, for that in America; no one believed that they could co-exist with India and Islam. One of the tasks that we learn is that people and programs can shape young people’s lives. We understand that a task of religious faith is the recognition that we are all one. The small things such as, race, gender, beliefs and practices shouldn’t hinder us in living in peace and harmony. From the story we can generate many things, one of them being that when we realize the tasks on religious faith is when we will live in a better world.…

    The Beatitudes: The Meaning Of Christianity By Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    This book sends a message that is still relatable to today’s society. It goes beyond what the meaning of Christianity is and adds more to the message when you consider the context. This book was published during the Nazi Regime, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s perspective went against what Adolf Hitler was all about. Bonhoeffer was involved in the plot to kill Hitler and because of that he was executed. Right in the beginning of the book he talks about cheap grace. He defines cheap grace as “a doctrine, a principle, a system. It means forgiveness of sins proclaimed as a general truth, the love of God taught as the Christian ‘conception’ of God” (Bonhoeffer 45). This idea means that there is grace without price, grace without cost or grace without…

    Pilgrimage of Grace

    When Martin Luther posted the 95 theses in 1517, he had changed the entire path of European politics and religion. He sparked a thought in the region that in many cases, converted people’s basic Christian beliefs. At the time, the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful Institution. However, there were many corruptions and problematic doctrines, which Luther opposed. Though most commoners became followers because of faith, political leaders sometimes became protestant for other reasons. One important figure that was influenced by this protestant reformation was King Henry VIII of England. A monarch, he had a great desire to have a son that would be his heir, the next king. Unfortunately, his first wife was only able to birth one daughter. By then Henry VIII had formed a relationship with another woman. This one promised him a son. However, the Catholic Church forbade divorce and Henry VIII was Catholic at the time. To resolve this issue, England separated from the church and began the Anglican Church, a church headed by Henry VIII himself. The Act of Supremacy in 1534 officially began England’s Protestant Reformation. With this new power of the state over the church, the head of the King’s Council, Thomas Cromwell, carried out new government policies which included new taxes, increased power of the monarchy in Northern England, dissolution of Roman Catholic monasteries, and confiscation of the lands that belong to the Church. Enraged, commoners and nobles alike began marching and protesting in what was known collectively as the Pilgrimage of Grace. These individuals that numbered in the tens of thousands, marched for political and religious reasons, while the opposition also claimed political and religious reasons for the protests to stop.…

    Pilgrimage of Grace

    The Pilgrimage of Grace started because many people were dissatisfied with King Henry VIII's actions. The King's decisions to form a new religion sparked a controversy with the devout Catholics, but others were angry, not necessarily with the religion aspect, but just with the mannerisms of the King. For example, the King's decision to make a new religion without a Pope was not revered by some men because they strongly disagreed with heresy. Other people believe that the King was being unfair when he took away their land for his own benefit and profited from it. Some people believe that the King made inexcusable decisions on his behalf, while others believe the King was justified in his decisions.…

    Throughout the New Testament are recounts of the miracles that Jesus performed to give proof that He was indeed the Son of God and the Messiah foretold of in the Old Testament. John chose to recount only seven of the many miracles that Jesus performed. He felt that these seven, more than any of the others, showed definitive proof that the Messiah, the Son of God, had come as promised.…

    The Three Graces

    The Three Graces (Gratiea in Roman), were the daughters of Jupiter and Aegle of the Hesperides in Roman Mythology, compared to Zeus and Oceanid Eurynome in Greek Setting. Aglaia Goddess of splendor, Euphrosyne Goddess of Festivity and Thalia Goddess of Rejoice seemed to be least mentioned of the Olympians. The story of their early life is unknown. In later years they were known as handmaidens to Aphrodite, Goddess of love. Over time they collected ties to Apollo and Hercules. Along with their ties to those deities there is not much more to their story. Later info about them is given such as the fact that Thalia held the power of fertility, unlike that of Aphrodite. They were also tied to Hera as they spent six years with their father and ruler of Olympus, Zeus. They were said to live at the top of Mt. Olympus along with the Muses and Himerus, Goddess of Desire. Though these implementations were stated, there seems to be no actual significance of the Graces. That’s why I had…

    I had my own plans, and although I had obeyed God in quitting my teaching position, I still thought in my mind it would be a temporary situation at best. Although my heart had said I would never teach in the schools again, my mind insisted I would. At that season, I made choices based on my will not necessarily God’s will. I was in the process of learning how to let God be in control of my destiny instead of me. God was setting me up for my future, and I did not even know it, nor did I want to know.…
