All these things I was taught to place great value upon and still do.”<br /><br />p 19 “It was more liberal Christians, I was taught to believe, who had ‘a weak doctrine of sin’ and this was chiefly responsible for their failure to possess beliefs similar to evangelicals about grace and the atonement.”<br /><br />p 20 “Like many worshippers, I found this process [of traditional Anglican liturgical confession] extremely helpful in leading me to acknowledge my overall need for God’s grace and to seek his forgiveness for the personal sins of which I was guilty.”<br /><br />p 57 (Topic: Judgement) “Despite the clarity of these and other passages [in Wright], this idea has been controversial; some have suggested that ‘judgement according to deeds’ is a denial of grace and ‘justification by faith’. In response, Wright argues that justification by faith is the Spirit's bringing forward of that eschatological verdict into the present, based upon the first fruit of that expected change which is people possessing the faith to proclaim that 'Jesus is Lord'.”<br /><br />p 60 (Topic: Virtue) “All brought about by God’s grace and the action of the Spirit, the supreme Christian virtues are faith, hope and especially love, because these are the things that will last into the new creation and therefore form ‘bridges’ into it from the present world order (1 Corinthians 13).”<br /><br />91 “The implication has been that making too much of an effort to lead holy lives might somehow form a denial of the need for God’s grace and the work of the Spirit. In addressing this, we have begun to emphasize that Spirit-filled and grace-driven living is precisely about the concentrated effort to work hard to anticipate the destiny that we will possess in the new creation.”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590979027426082714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-79498423641510938112011-08-25T19:43:13.575+01:002011-08-25T19:43:13.575+01:00PS according to the index, grace is mentioned six ...PS according to the index, grace is mentioned six times.
