Walking in Grace: A Study of the Book of Ephesians - Christian Bible Study Guide for Small Groups & Personal Devotion

As the concept of grace began to come to light in the early church, Christians wondered what exactly they were supposed to do with their new found freedom in Christ. In Romans 6, Paul challenged the early church to truly think through the idea of God’s grace and its affect upon their lifestyle. He wanted them to understand that grace wasn’t just a free ticket to sin. Instead, he wanted them to acknowledge that grace covered their sins. It was through the act of God redeeming them that they now had a responsibility to live a totally different type of life.
