As believers, the world will draw conclusions about Jesus based on our behavior. So how can we demonstrate love, and honor truth, in all situations—particularly the stickier ones? Using examples from the author’s own “sticky” life, this study looks for the answer in the tenuous but interdependent relationship of two character attributes fully possessed by Christ: Grace and Truth.

Jesus’ heart was filled with 100 percent grace and 100 percent truth—not 50 percent of each. According to Alcorn, then, it is only by demonstrating a balance of grace and truth that we can accurately show Christ’s character to the world. But he adds, “Grace isn’t good manners, and by truth I don’t just mean speaking honestly.”

Through this short-term study, then, Christians will come to a deeper understanding of each attribute, their co-existence, and practical ways that we can model them both in full and equal measure. Based on the popular trade book by the same title. (4 sessions)
