The Doctrine of Grace Part 1

The Greek word ca,rij charis is most commonly translated grace, favor, andthank you.  ca,rij charis appears 155 times in the New Testament, and from that number the apostle Paul uses the word 130 times.  Grace refers to the unmerited favor that one person shows toward an undeserving other.  The greatest expression of grace is observed in the love God shows toward undeserving sinners for whom He sent His Son to die in their place so they might have eternal life in Christ (John 3:16-19; Rom. 5:6-10).  (complete set of notes)
