Thanks for posting the link to the excellent review of the Old and New Testament uses of the words translated to English as grace Evangelical and more Bible references.
After all this, I have to say regarding the original Lee definition of grace:
First sentence - “Busted”, again as being too subjective without the objective proofs of God’s outworking of His grace in our lives evidenced by:
- sanctification and righteousness in all we do
- power of the Holy Spirit
- ministry to felllow members for building up
- good works to our neighbors
- giving all credit, praise, and glory to God for anything and everything He does through us
Second sentence: Plausable
Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion. I believe this is an example of the power of dialogue among believers with different views, which this web site promotes, toward gaining more insight into Bible truth.
