What's So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey

Week 7: Chapter 6 — Grace-Full Christians

Read Chapter 6 of What's So Amazing About Grace? Key passages: Galatians 5:22–23; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20.

If grace is God's great gift to us, then what does it look like when ordinary Christians actually embody it — and what gets in the way?

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.Yancey explores what it means to be "grace-full" — a person so saturated with received grace that it naturally overflows toward others. What does such a person look like in ordinary life? Who comes to mind when you picture a genuinely grace-full person you have known?

2.He argues that Christians are called to be "ministers of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5) — ambassadors of a grace that God himself is extending through us toward the world. How does that identity as a reconciler shape the way you see your interactions with non-Christians, or with Christians you disagree with?

3.Yancey warns against what he calls "ungrace" — the subtle (and not so subtle) ways we communicate that people must earn their welcome. What are some common forms of ungrace in everyday Christian life? Think about tone, body language, assumptions, and the topics we choose to raise.

a.Which of those forms are you most prone to?

b.What situations or relationships most reliably trigger ungrace in you?
