Quine and the Meaning of "Grace"

Minnesota state photograph "Grace" b...http://jayaquine.blogspot.com/2011/08/jesus-image-of-god-by-jay-quine.htmlGod's Gift of Grace, words by Jay QuineRomans 1:7 and Unique to Christianity--Grace
Have you ever wondered why we call I praying at a meal “saying grace?” This is Dr. Jay Quine, and I want you to remember a word today. That word is “grace.” We say at dinner. We may know a girl named “grace.” But the word “grace” describes a gift, a true gift. It is not your birthday, Christmas, or your anniversary, but nevertheless you are given a gift. It means, “unmerited favor.” It cannot be increased because of good behavior; it is not decreased because of bad behavior. It is given independent of you. So the word “grace” is used for the gift of eternal life. It is a gift offered to all, regardless of any effort on your own. Is a gift of God. Grace is a word to remember.

Expiation—to pay the price or the penalty. 
He paid the debt he did not owe; I owed a debt I could not pay.  Ellis J. Crum coined those lyrics to describe the expiatory work of Christ.  Expiation would be like paying the price of a fine for a parking ticked.  What is the price?  But Jesus paid not a financial penalty, but penalty rightly due sinners.  “the wages of sin is death – and that is the penalty Jesus paid.  The Bible uses the word “Expiation” to describe the payment.  “But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy

Jay Quine Speaks on Justification—to declare righteous or not guilty.

Justification—to declare righteous or not guilty.  

The speeding ticket.  Caught going too fast on radar, we may even admit to the officer our violation.  But what if, because of some legal technicality, our ticket is dismissed?  We are in fact guilty, but are declared not guilty.  On the basis of imputation of Christ’s righteousness to us, you and I are declared guilty.  It is called “justification.”  We know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.  Galatians 2:16   Feeling guilty about your sin?  Good.  Turn to Christ and be declared righteous. God will look at you through the cross where your sin was paid in full, so that even though in fact guilty, you are declared righteous.

Paul's Life After Being Released by Dr. Jay A. Quine

In A.D. 62 Paul was released.  He first  visits those churches he wrote to while under custody in Rome.  Given the established sailing routes, he likely first went to Crete with Titus.  He did not stay long, but left Titus there to strengthen and continue to organize churches on that Island (Titus 1:5). 

From Crete Paul seems to have gone to Asia Minor.  After visiting Ephesus and sending for Timothy (who was in Philippi?) he went up the Lycus River valley to Colossae.  In the fall of A.D. 62 he met Timothy back in Ephesus, who informed him of the condition of the churches in Macedonia.  Thus, consistent with his plan (Phil 2:24)  Paul went to those churches (spring A.D. 63?) leaving Timothy behind in Ephesus.  From Macedonia Paul wrote Timothy (1 Timothy) that he would stay longer than expected (1 Tim 3:14-15, 4:13-16) and thus encourages Timothy to continue in the work.  While in Macedonia Paul also wrote to Titus (Titus).  He mentions that he is sending Titus some helpers, and that when they arrive Titus is to join Paul in Nicopolis where he was heading for the winter. 

From Nicopolis Paul leaves for Spain in the spring of  A.D. 64.  He returns to Ephesus (? early spring A.D. 68?) after Nero's rise to power, is arrested, transported to Rome.  He writes his final letter to Timothy (2 Timothy) asking him to come to Rome.  Paul is beheaded in the spring or early summer of A.D. 68.

A. Evidence that Paul Was Released from Imprisonment in Rome
Acts 28 ends with Paul in Rome under house arrest.  However, the impression  is that  after the two years Paul was released. 

That Paul was released appears to be affirmed from Paul's own words of expectation in Philippians 1:25-27 where he expects to "remain" rather than "depart and be with Christ,” and Philippians 2:19-24 and Philemon 22 where he states that he plans to visit these places and people. 

Several historians of the early church wrote that Paul was released and visited Spain.  Clement of Rome (A.D. 95) wrote of Paul that he "taught righteousness to the whole world, even having gone to the bounds of the West."  This phrase "bounds of the West" was a phrase which was used to describe Spain.  Eusibius (late 2nd century, c. 150-190) wrote, "Tradition has it that after defending himself the Apostle was again sent on the ministry of preaching, and coming a second time to the same city, suffered martyrdom under Nero."  The Muritorian fragment refers to Paul's journey to Spain, as do many other late second century writers.  This is consistent with his stated intention to visit Spain in Romans 15:24.
