grace

Grace (imparted). Summary (see "Grace").

(See Scofield) - (Joh 1:17)

Grace is not only dispensationally a method of divine dealing in salvation,

(See Scofield) - (Joh 1:17),

but is also the method of God in the believer's life and service. As saved, he is "not under the law, but under grace". (Rom 6:14). Having by grace brought the believer into the highest conceivable position. (Eph 1:6). God ceaselessly works through grace, to impart to, and perfect in him, corresponding graces. (Joh 15:4); (Joh 15:5); (Gal 5:22); (Gal 5:23).

Grace, therefore, stands connected:

with service; (Rom 12:6); (Rom 15:15); (Rom 15:16); (Co1 1:3-7); (Co1 3:10); (Co1 15:10); (Co2 12:9); (Co2 12:10); (Gal 2:9); (Eph 3:7); (Eph 3:8); (Eph 4:7); (Phi 1:7); (Ti2 2:1); (Ti2 2:2); (Pe1 4:10).

with Christian growth; (Co2 1:12); (Eph 4:29); (Col 3:16); (Col 4:6); (Th2 1:12); (Heb 4:16); (Heb 12:28); (Heb 12:29); (Heb 13:9); (Jam 4:6); (Pe1 1:2); (Pe1 3:7); (Pe1 5:5); (Pe1 5:10); (Pe2 3:18); (Jde 1:4); and

with giving; (Co2 4:15); (Co2 8:1); (Co2 8:6); (Co2 8:7); (Co2 8:19); (Co2 9:14).

grace

Grace (imparted). (Rom 6:1); (Pe2 3:18).
