grace

Grace (imparted). Summary (see "Grace").

( See Scofield) - (John 1:17)

Grace is not only dispensationally a method of divine dealing in salvation,

( See Scofield) - (John 1:17),

but is also the method of God in the believer's life and service. As saved, he is "not under the law, but under grace". (Romans 6:14). Having by grace brought the believer into the highest conceivable position. (Ephesians 1:6). God ceaselessly works through grace, to impart to, and perfect in him, corresponding graces. (John 15:4); (John 15:5); (Galatians 5:22); (Galatians 5:23).
