Paul now begins his deep dive into the blessing of GRACE, which if understood correctly, locks-out all religious boasting.  It is grace (unmerited favor) that makes the argument for ‘all’ people being saved: ‘There is no difference.’  For if the rescue from the pit is a gift of declared righteousness from and of God, then all pre-qualifications are gone.  A gift can only be a gift if it involves no merit and no payment.  In this way, the ‘unity’ of God is demonstrated: for there is One God and One gift of Life, and One Salvation, and One people who are rescued. Do you understand grace?  Or are you hanging onto a version of  mock grace that diminishes the very essence of God?This Week’s Bulletin: https://thechapelingreen.cdn.prismic.io/thechapelingreen/aB3_jydWJ-7kR1MJ_05.11.25Rm327-31Grace-NoBoastingOutline.pdf
