Divine Grace

Moses and the Ten Commandments

Danielle Tello
//The definition of the English word "grace" comes from the translation of the Latin word __gratia__. This word was used by the Roman translators during the New Testament for the greek word __charis__ used by a stream of latin by Tertullian (A.D.160-220). The Greek word __charis__ means to speck our human link with the concept intended by the Holy Spirit in Christian Revelations. Hellenist Scholars disagree with the Greeks term for the word. They believed that the greeks mind has no word uttered itself and all that lies at its heart is more distinctly than in this disyllable. Authors in the New Testament chose to emphasize God's merciful love for men. The divine means that god is able to communicate to his natural creatures. There are two elements that are involved in the word "divine grace" one is that god is communicating to himself to his creatures this is his effect that causes to produce his presence in our souls. "Both of the graces are both undeserved their function is to make us capable of living a life that is proper to god alone" ([4]). An example of this was when Moses was able to speak to god through the burning bush. God was able to communicate to Moses through the burning bush.// Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
