Thursday, February 10, 2005Grace After Mark's talk on grace last Sunday I decided to re-read a shortish paper i wrote on Grace while a college. I am not sure whether it is particularly good, but I thouhgt you might suffer a read!! I tried to track Grace as a biblical theme, rather than pick favourite verses from Paul's Letters. Therefore i tried to see how Paul thought about God before his conversion that helped him understand the gracious act of God he experienced on the Damascus road. I found it interesting, I hope you will too: God's grace through the Ages Thinking of Paul, it makes interesting addition to Mark's point on Sunday that "God has a problem with Pride" [!], in the sense that it takes humility to accept God's grace. It takes the acceptance that I can't do it on my own, and that I can never even contribute to paying back the grace I have received. On the Damascus Road, Paul's pride must have been shattered, and he must have been forever convinced of the undeserving nature of the grace he received: “the incomparable riches of his grace expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus” Posted by: Mark | 10:13 am |
