John M. G. Barclay describes in his book Paul & the Gift
Six “perfections of grace”
- Superabundance
- Singularity
- Priority
- Incongruity
- Efficacy
- (Non-circularity)
- A Strange and Wonderful Wedding
- A New Passion, New Dignity
- A Taste of Heaven
- Jesus replaces OT revelation because it was all about preparing for him
- Jesus replaces all religion because he alone fully reveals God
- Heaven and Hell depend upon our response to Jesus
His Offer – His Son
- We can’t come to God
- Jesus can bring us to God
