Grace through Faith - a bit of theological bantering

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."

Tonight was our first bible study -- or perhaps more accurately described as theological bantering over beer and pizza.

The theme: How does grace work through faith?

If grace is a gift and we can't do anything for it, what is faith, is it not an action on our part - to believe? We went a bit around and around on this, as you can imagine. What is grace? What is faith? what are works? What is salvation? What is God? What's the point?!?!?

We went all over the place, so it is difficult to summerize, but the pizza was good and I learned a lot. And oh ya, check out the bobble head Jesus -- he was the life of the party!
