Our Sunday night church group has spent this whole summer talking about grace and how our view of grace affects the way we interact with the world.
- What it looks like
- How it is shown
- How do we act on grace
- How do we become those who pour out grace on others
- What is our responsibility concerning the giving of grace
- Why are we supposed to extend grace
- Why is grace vital to our world
- Why does just a little bit make such a huge difference
I have spent the summer reading all of the different passages that talk about God's grace and how that applies to our lives. This is a list of what I have come up with. If you know of or think of more, leave a comment and I will add it to the list (I did omit greetings of grace and peace to not overload this list).
