20/30 Bible Study for Young Adults Grace: Being Loved, Loving God

by Clifton F Guthrie

Overview

This study will explore the biblical image of grace (and sin). Grace as a theological construct can be interpreted in a variety of ways among different Christian bodies. For some, for example, it might take on the extreme of "being able to sin boldly so that grace may abound." For others, the only knowledge of grace is how to fall from it. Within these extremes, lies the biblical understanding(s) of what grace is, how God mediates grace to humankind, and how persons embody that grace in their attitudes and behaviors to others.
