A overriding purpose of grace

I believe that there are covenants that can be classified as a “covenant of grace“, but I cannot hold biblically to an actual covenant of Grace, since it is not revealed in scripture explicitly and clearly.  I am OK with using the description “covenant of grace” to denote God’s gracious purpose over all covenants as well.  God does have a “purpose of grace.” John Zens talks about this in:  Is There A “Covenant Of Grace?” see also www.disciplemaking.net

Resolutions

One of the amazing things that I am learning about resolutions is that we should make them weekly and daily as projects and Next actions or goals and not just ideas of change that we make yearly.  This was the example of Jonathan Edwards.  Read more about his resolutions at   The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards Wikipedia defines a New Years Resolution as.. A New Year’s Resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year’s Day and remain until the set

SermonAudio.com – New Covenant Theology – Critique by Jim Renihan Maybe I am wrong, and need correcting in this issue, but I want to be Biblical in that I want God’s intended meaning of the scriptural revelation of Himself and not mine or someone else’s tradition, culturally conditioned experience or opinion about the facts becoming a greater authority that Scripture itself.   see also www.disciplemaking.net
