Discussion Questions
7 questions1.How would you define "grace" in your own words before engaging with Comer's chapter? After reading, how has your definition expanded or shifted?
2.Comer distinguishes grace from mere kindness or niceness. Grace is unmerited — it is given to those who haven't earned it and don't deserve it. Why is that distinction so important? What would be lost if we collapsed "grace" into just "being nice"?
3.Many people operate with a performance-based view of their relationship with God — they feel accepted when they're doing well spiritually and rejected when they're not. How does a robust understanding of grace destabilize that system?
