Top Highlights
“Once a year, on the Day of Atonement, the High Priest would bring the blood of a sacrifice in and pour it over the top of the ark, over the mercy seat. Propitiation, in Greek, came to mean ‘satisfaction’—God was satisfied with the shed blood that covered the lid of the ark, and thereby covered the broken Law within. When God looked down from above the ark, He did not see the broken Law; rather He saw the shed blood of the sacrifice, and was propitiated, or satisfied.” (Pages 27–28)
“If a Jewish boy left his home with his inheritance and then lost that money while living among the Gentiles, he would no longer be welcome in his home or his village. If he returned after having done such a thing, he would be subject to a ‘cutting off’ ceremony; he would be publicly ‘cut off’ from his family and community.” (Pages 34–35)
“The longer he lived, the more Paul’s eyes were opened to his need for the grace of God. It’s not that he sinned more; indeed, I’m sure he sinned less. He just became more and more aware of his own sinful nature and how much he needed the grace of God.” (Page 24)
“In Romans 5:1–11 Paul gives us a list of things that come to us by God’s grace—gifts that flow from the goodness of His heart to us.” (Page 58)
“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account’” (Page 48)
Captured by Grace could just be the fresh experience of the love of God you've been waiting for.
