This is the first place where
grace is mentioned in the

That is Noah and his family
and other creatures, where
the only ones, that obtained
mercy and favour; this was
owing to the grace of GOD
not the merit of the
creatures.
The grace, which Noah found

good will of GOD to save him
and his family and the
ungodly were destroyed
He was directed to build an

BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY
HIS GRACE
The righteous of GOD by
faith in JESUS CHRIST, is upon
all who believe, who are all
justified freely by his grace,
which cannot be treated on
the merit of our own or
personnel obedience to the
Law.
*Justification is a free gift of

Man is Justified by God’s
grace and by God’s grace
only
*Justification is only through
the redemption that is JESUS
CHRIST
*Justification is the act of
GOD, whereby our legal
standing in heaven is
changed and we are declared
righteous
REDEMPTION- to deliver by
paying a price, To set free

Redemption is in JESUS
CHRIST, produced through
his suffering and death
PROPITIATION- Is the act of
GOD, motivated by his
immense love, whereby
GOD accepts the blood of
JESUS CHRIST as the
complete and satisfying
sacrifice for all human sin,
thereby establishing a means

|
of reconciliation between
GOD and man.
The complete benefits of his
sacrifice are only available
who by faith accept this
provision of sin
GOD is the one who
presented JESUS CHRIST to
be the recompense/
atonement for the world sin:
It is JESUS CHRIST suffering,
his cross, and death that
causes God to accept JESUS
as the atonement or
propitiation. That is the
blood of JESUS CHRIST that
GOD accepts as:
* The sacrifice for our
sins
* The covering for our
sins
* The payment for the
penalty of our sins
