GOD's action in grace is seen in the Gospel. Under the law it was "Thou shalt," but under grace it is "I will." The following seven "I wills" of the New Testament illustrate the action of grace:—
1. The "I will" of forgiveness (Hbr 10:17).
2. The "I will" of cleansing (Mar 1:41).
3. The "I will" of rest (Mat 11:28).
4. The "I will" of security (Jhn 6:37).
5. The "I will" of impression (Hbr 10:16).
6. The "I will" of service (Mat 4:19).
7. The "I will" of indwelling (2Cr 6:16).
