2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:8

  1. an interesting continuation to last week's bible verse. this verse made me study what Grace truly meant in the theological sense. we all know that grace means a free or unmerited favour or gift from God. but what does that entail on the giver's end and the receiver's end?

    here's some of my notes:
    - the principle of transformation and action; calling for constant collaboration
    - THE MEANING OF GRACE (in my journal, it's an awesome graph, but i guess i'll have to type this out in a weird way. see if you understand:
    FAVOUR: by the gratuitous benevolence of a highly placed person; shown by Him who gives and bestows

    | The bonds which reveal His image in us |

    RECEIVER: the concrete witness of the favour; receives and finds grace

    !!! Grace draws the receiver's attention and causes him to retain the favour; How should one live then??


    Here's another graph (a even more simpler form)THE GRATUITY OF GRACE:
    Election > Salvation > Consecrated Mission > Fruitfulness
