Do believers receive all of God's grace at salvation or progressively over time?
At salvation, every believer experiences all of God's grace the moment they believe. Grace is not received progressively; rather, believers are positioned in grace at salvation and then grow in grace over time. They do not grow into grace but grow from that position in grace.
Les explains that every person saved by God's grace experiences all of God's grace at salvation, the moment they believe. Yet they still have a long way to go in growth. He points to the Corinthian believers, saved out of paganism and immorality, who needed nurturing and growth, but only by God's grace. Believers grow in grace, not into grace; all of God's grace is poured out at belief, and from that position they grow. Since grace is not law, nothing is forced upon them.
When does a believer experience all of God's grace?
A believer experiences all of God's grace at the moment of salvation, when they believe. Every person saved by grace experiences all of God's grace immediately upon believing, and from that position in grace they grow. Growth follows, but grace is fully experienced at faith.
Does a believer receive all of God's grace at salvation or only part of it?
At salvation, every believer experiences all of God's grace, not merely a portion. The moment a person believes, all of God's grace has been poured out on them. Growth follows from that position in grace, as believers grow in grace rather than growing into grace.
