Bible Note: I think, biblically speaking, that "grace" being defined simply as "unmerited favor" is not as strong as it should be. Properly speaking, saving grace is favor from God not merely when we have not merited it, but rather when we have deserved nothing but his wrath. Grace is not simply getting what we have not earned; it is getting the blessed opposite of what we have earned. --Joe! |
