The Most Important Word

What makes a word the most important word in any language? 

It's the one that GOD chose to describe his character and nature. What is that word? It’s the Greek word CHARIS, χάρις .

In the first of four audio sessions on the "Doctrine of Grace" by Chester McCalley, he introduces the absolute central importance of understanding the Grace of God. He details why this is the key to entering into experiencing the fullness of all that is made available to those who have faith in Jesus Christ. 

 Here's some of the territory he covers:

• What happened to the Law
• What does it mean to be “under Grace”
• Why Grace has the power to teach and the Law does not
• How you get it
• Why it must be taught
• What is the design and purpose of Grace
• What we provide and what is our only possible respons

He shows the 3 different meanings of the word Grace:

1. As the Greek used the word
2. How it was used in the Old versus New Testaments
3. How the Apostle Paul used it

He closes with the first three points in the Doctrine of Grace. What does it mean to be under Grace and not under Law?

1. It's the system we are under
2. Grace can only be seen in Jesus Christ
3. It’s the way GOD operates
