Grace

Grace is relational and not just a transaction. Luke 2:22-38When compared to the way of the world, the value system of God’s Kingdom is upside-down. 1 Cor 1:26-30Our response to grace is allegiance: a humble and submitted heart. Hebrews 4:12-13God’s grace is a gift that calls us out of the world. Titus 2:11-14Mark 10:35-45The Kingdom of God is a “power under kingdom,” not a “power over kingdom.” The kingdom way of life involves serving and suffering.Disciples are called to follow Jesus’ example of emptying himself. Phil 2:1-11He [Jesus] became what we are that He might make us what He is- Athanasius of Alexandria1 John 2:4-6
