Advanced Questions on the Grace Message

By Joel Finck

As one grows in the message of grace, new questions arise, which challenge both the mind and the heart of the sincere student of Scripture. We are referring to these as "Advanced Questions" because they fall into the category of what we might call the "meat of the word." Some Christians tend to shy away from such questions, for fear they they might lead to controversy. This is unfortunate, for even controversial subjects can lead to tremendous spiritual growth if they are approached graciously and in the spirit of the noble Bereans who "received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11).
