The Abundance of Grace

"The redeeming work of Christ and the rightness He won for us together with the work of the Spirit in us as the power of the new life are spoken of as grace. It includes all that Christ has done and still does, all He has and gives, and all He is for us and in us. John says, "We beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). The law was given by Moses, Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. "And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace" (John 1:16)."
