Grace Luke alone in the NT synoptic gospels uses the word charis The reality of God’s gift is present in Jesus’ proclamation of a graceful God And in the gift character of God’s reign

Grace Charis plays a central role in the writings of St. Paul For Paul grace is the essence of God’s universal and salvific action in Jesus Rom 5:15, 8:32 In the grace of the human being Jesus Christ the love of God assumes the form of a person

Grace The most important effect of Jesus Christ’s gracious work of salvation is the gift of justification (Rom 3:21-26) Paul emphasises that we do not merit God’s grace it is total gift It is also universal and non exclusive It makes us children of God and heirs of the Kingdom

Grace The one grace of God gives various gifts of grace ( charismata) For the service of salvation Summarised in Eph 2:4-9, Ti 3:4-7 Grace is the love of God for us
