Gospel in a word
By jason | April 7, 2008
This summer we will begin a series in Ephesians. I’m really excited about it. Over the last month or so I’ve been studying Ephesians and I’ve begun working through some new commentaries. This morning as I read through the prologue (1.1-2) I came across a comment about Paul’s use of “grace” and “peace.”
Grace is commonly a catchall phrase that comes to signify “God’s unmerited or undeserved favor in providing salvation for sinners through Christ’s sacrificial death and enablement for the believer.”
This leads Harold Hoehner to this observation:
It is no mere introductory cliche. It is the gospel in one word.
