Listen "Grace and Gratitude?"
Episode Synopsis
The original Greek contains details lost in English translations. The English focus only on gratitude, the Greek appears to connect our reception of God’s kingdom with the concept of grace; this aligns with the broader biblical perspective on salvation, which is depicted as accessible solely through God’s grace (Romans 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-9). We receive membership in this unshakeable kingdom by grace, and through that same grace, we are enabled to present eternally acceptable sacrifices (Hebrews 10:14; Romans 12:1). The Greek term referring to “sacrifice” is associated with both service and worship. Main Text: Hebrews 12:27-29 (ESV)
