Grace and Peace

A survey of the uses of the terms “grace” and “peace” in Greek and Hebrew. In this lecture, Tim Hegg will consider how these words are used in the Priestly Blessing of Numbers 6:24–26, their connection to the sacrificial offering and as a foreshadowing of the ultimate and final offering of the Lamb of God. He will then investigate the biblical meaning of “grace” in the Tanach: חֵן (chein) as “grace” and “favor” and in the Apostolic Scriptures as a gift of God, not something a sinner can earned or purchase. Finally, Tim will survey the texts in the Apostolic Scriptures which utilize the combination “grace and peace”.
