A Few Words about Grace
Over the next few weeks I am going to post some quotes by William R. Newell on the topic of Grace...feel free to run with any of these. I don't have a grasp on much of it but would love to hear others insight into the topic.

The Nature of Grace:
1. Grace is God acting freely, according to His own nature as Love; with no promises or obligations to fulfill; and acting, of course, righteously -- in view of the cross.

Good point Dean. I think the word has lost allot of its meaning and it is definately not a commonly used word today. Commonly translated as "unmerited favor", it could be summed upped by the biblical reference in Romans 5:8-"God commended His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. " Undeserved, unwarranted, unexpected, unfathonable are all words that describe this incredible gift.
