Now that I got that out of the way, WELCOME! When I was trying to think of a title for this site what came to mind was “Saving Grace”. I’ve heard those words now and then growing up in church but I realized that if I had to explain to someone what they meant I wouldn’t know what to say. So I did what I always do when I want to learn something, I Google. This is what I came up with:
sav·ing grace
noun
the redeeming grace of God.
a redeeming quality or characteristic.
saving grace
noun
a quality that makes up for other generally negative characteristics; redeeming feature.
Thesaurus:
Noun 1. saving grace - (Christian theology) a state of sanctification by God; the state of one who is under such divine influence; "the conception of grace developed alongside the conception of sin"; "it was debated whether saving grace could be obtained outside the membership of the church"; "the Virgin lived in a state of grace"
2. saving grace - a redeeming quality or characteristic; "her love of music remains her one saving grace"; "her sense of humor has to be a saving grace"; "the saving grace for both developments is that they are creating jobs"
characteristic - a distinguishing quality
I’m seeing a pattern here. I don’t know about you but it makes me think. What do you think it means, “the redeeming grace of God”? Here’s another question for you, what is your “redeeming quality or characteristic”? I’m going to think on what my answers will be and give them to you in my next post.
