❖ GRACE —χαρις (charis 26) is Greek for grace. Grace on God’s part is loving kindness and mercy; on our part it's gratitude.
➤ True Grace SERIES —This series of lessons is about the Bible’s teaching on God’s grace. We address doctrines about grace that re-emerged in the second decade of the twenty-first century. These teachings have been dubbed False Grace. They say that God’s grace allows us to continue in sin.
➤ Grace Defined —On simplybible.com certain technical or special words in the Bible are studied and explained in our glossary. Each lesson provides a word family, definitions, Greek and Hebrew references, a scripture chain, comments, and links to related lessons.
➤ Paths of Grace - The Perfect Path —A Journeys of the Soul lesson. We trace the ideal path that the soul should take. God has provided this path out of his kindness, goodness, and love. One special human being walked this perfect path setting us an example. First of a trilogy.
➤ The Path Jesus Walked —One special human being walked the ideal path, the right and perfect path that every soul should take. Jesus set us an example in the path he followed. Second of a rrilogy.

➤ Ten Deep Things John 1:1-17 —The first 17 verses of John’s account of Jesus, point to ten deep things. They are listed with a brief comment on each. Presented in two parts. This is PART 2
➤ Grace and Works —This lesson shows that when our good works are combined with faith, then our faith is validated, and through that faith we are saved by grace. Whilst our obedience in good works does not earn our salvation, nevertheless without that obedience we will not be saved by grace.
➤ Paul’s Six Steps to Grace —What Paul says a person needs to do to be saved, compared to what Jesus says.
➤ Seven Precious Promises —God has granted us very great and precious promises (2Peter 1:4). In this lesson, we list seven of these promises from God to you.
➤ Grateful for Grace —God saw our need of salvation and in his great love he offers it to us as a gift. How should we respond?
➤ Two Sides of God's Nature —God does not have a split personality that changes whimsically. Yet God’s nature does have two sides, each of which is necessary to, and consistent with, the other.
➤ Irresistable Grace —Can anyone resist the grace of God? This Bible study answers that question as it relates to human nature and God’s will.
➤ Justification by Works —James teaches us how works are associated with justification by faith.
➤ Sin and Grace —About understanding God’s grace when dealing with the problems and habits of sin.
➤ Saved by Grace (Ephesians 2:1-9) —A verse by verse study about the great change God’s grace has wrought in the lives and future of sinners who have turned to him.
➤ Brethren, What Shall We Do? —After Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost, the crowd asked the apostles, “Brethren, What shall we do?” (Acts 2:37). We compare the account in Acts 2:37-40 with a statement attributed to Max Lucado, 'My only contribution to my salvation is my own sin'.
➤ Seeking or Rejecting Grace —about the parables of the Workers in the Vineyard, and the Marriage of the King’s Son.
➤ Invited and Compelled —The Parable of the slighted invitation (Luke 14:16-24) is about people invited to a dinner. When they refused the invitation, other people were rounded up and compelled to attend. What is this saying about grace and choice?
➤ Stewards of God’s Grace (Parables) —about the parables of the Talents, the Wicked Tenant Farmers, and the Unrighteous Steward.
➤ Law and Grace —This lesson allows Paul to cast some light on his statement that we are not under law but under grace.
➤ Law of Moses —This lesson puts into perspective the law of Moses showing where it fits in to the topic of law and grace.
➤ Full Sufficiency of Grace —A lesson about the fullness and sufficiency of Christ, the scriptures, and the grace of God (John 1:16).
➤ Seven Goals in Grace (2Thessalonians 1) —An inspirational lesson in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 1, joining the first five verses with the last two.
➤ Patience and Grace —Patience goes hand in hand with kindness. The patience of God stems from God’s kindness or grace.
➤ Law, Sin, and Grace —Examines the message of Paul that we do not receive God’s grace by repudiating his law. Paul sees God’s law and grace combining, not conflicting.
➤ Ephesians 2 —Ephesians chapter 2 rendered in simple clear sentences. Readings entitled “Saved by Grace” and “Christ Our Peacemaker”.
➤ Saved by Grace —justified, sanctified, redeemed. God’s grace makes us right with him, sets us apart for him, and liberates us unto him.
➤ Grace and Repentance —Repentance means a change of mind. But in what sense and with what results? Some say that a mind change is all God’s grace requires for repentance. We are not required to change our lives. We don't need to turn from sin. That's wrong. Several things go along with true repentance, and it cannot do without them. God’s grace, in granting repentance, requires these things.
➤ Grace and Grace Alone —You may hear it said that a person is saved by grace and grace alone —“grace and nothing else”. Or you may hear the principle of grace alone implied in statements such as, “I had absolutely nothing to do with my own salvation!”. Or maybe, “There is nothing you can do to be saved. There is no human part to salvation.” Is this true?
➤ Grace and the Leper —The story of Naaman the leper, in 2Kings chapter 5, has some important lessons for us about God’s grace: Grace cannot be dictated; grace cannot be repaid; grace must be obeyed. If we contradict any of those principles we don't understand true grace.
➤ Grace and the Cross —It is said that our Lord’s sacrifice on the cross was a finished work of grace; therefore no work on our part is necessary for salvation. Grace alone saves us, by our Lord's work alone. Is this true?
➤ Grace and Pentecost —On the day of Pentecost, many were saved. However, many were unsaved also. What necessary things did the unsaved fail to do that caused them to miss out on salvation that day?
➤ Grace and Noah —Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. He and his family were saved by grace from the flood that killed everyone else. Was there anything about Noah that caused God to choose him for grace?
➤ Grace and Passover —The story of the first Passover, just before the Exodus from Egypt, shows us that salvation is not by grace alone, but by grace and blood, and a covenant, and the obedience of faith.
➤ Grace and Virtue —Read this lesson to discover three kinds of grace, and the relationship between grace and virtue. This lesson does not support the “grace only” doctrine.
➤ Grace and the Great Commission —Grace is behind Christ’s command to go into all the world proclaiming the gospel. But what if nobody goes? Or what if nobody wants to listen? What if nobody obeys? Do this thought experiment.
➤ Grace and Human Flesh —Our human fleshly bodies generally don't have a very good name in Christian theology. In fact, some belief systems view deeds of the human body as providing no access into the grace of God. The Bible does not take that view when it relates the grace of God to acts of human flesh.
➤ Grace and the Ethiopian —In this lesson we consider the Biblical account of the travelling Ethopian, to whom Philip preached about Jesus. He was saved by grace. We can learn a lot from the way he responded to God’s grace.
➤ Grace and Prayer —In this lesson we link salvation by grace with salvation through prayer. In evangelical meetings it is usual for sinners to be told to pray the “sinner’s prayer” to be saved. This raises some important questions about the belief that salvation is by grace alone.
➤ Grace and All People —In 1st Timothy 4:10 Paul says, '...We trust in the living God who is the Saviour of all people, especially those who have faith'. Does this mean that God’s grace makes faith unnecessary for salvation? Does it mean that everyone will be saved and no soul shall be lost?
➤ Grace and Power —A perspective on grace and power: the Messiah is mighty in government and law, majestic in glory and light, merciful in grace and love.
➤ Grace and Wrath —Romans 5:8-9. Sinners are saved by God’s love, saved from God’s wrath, but what makes this salvation possible? A sacrifice of blood: the blood of Christ who died for sinners.
➤ Grace and Righteousness —We should all keep in mind such important things as the promises of God, our faith in Christ, and God’s grace toward us. But we should also keep in mind that these have strong connections to other important things like God’s commandments, our obedience, and our righteousness.
