The Church is Christ, we’re His body, and He was grace incarnate.  Paul was sent by God to give the message from God the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ.  God was against us because of our sins.  Grace is a deposit of God’s life in us and is a gift from God to a people that He is no longer against.  Grace is a living deposit of God’s life; a relationship God was willing to restore on the basis of the price paid for sins.  That life nature is a dunamis (dynamite); the power of God unto salvation.
