AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. |
Bible Question:
Yes I have a question, when reading John .....the fullness of Grace is to recieve his grace and our hearts and souls, are our grace from God. I'm having trouble understand what GRACE really MEANS,is it,to HAVE GOD'S love and life and to believe in him. Please help understand. Thank you so much. |
Bible Answer: Strong's definition is the best I have heard... "Strong’s charis, khar'-ece; from Greek 5463 (chairo); graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude) :- acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace (-ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank (-s, -worthy)" If we say we live by grace our life must reflect it outward toward others as well as manifest the work of the Spirit on the inside. Grace indwelling the heart will be seen and heard by all. It is far more than salvation and security for all eternity... but rather a manifestation of a new creature in Christ. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 2 Cor. 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: |
