Romans 5:2. Unlike God’s love, God’s grace is conditional. On the other hand just like love, God offers grace to everyone. The difference between God’s love and saving grace is that grace is only given to ones that have faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Through their faith, Christians can rejoice because of the grace God has given to them (Romans 5:2, “ By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”). Saving grace is justification by faith.

1 Peter 1:23. The definition of Christian redemption includes being born again. Jesus paid the ransom and took on the punishment for our sin so that we can be saved. But we still have to accept this free gift that Jesus gave to us. We have to believe in Him and accept Him as our Lord and Savior. This is the only way that we will not perish in our own corruptible sins, but have everlasting life (John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”).

Hebrews 9:12. From a Christian perspective the definition of redemption specifies that the only redeemer is Jesus. Only Jesus’ act on the cross, his blood sacrifice, to take the punishment for our sins can lead to our eternal redemption. Jesus is the only one that has the perfect ransom and perfect gift to save us. There is no other way to salvation and redemption. Jesus’ redeeming act on the cross paid the ransom (price) for our sins. Jesus does not need to take on the punishment for our sin anymore. It is finished.

Genesis 6:5. Our imagination among other things allows fear, worry, phobias, and anxiety to rule our lives. It can be prudent to be fearful of snakes, dogs, or life-threatening situations, but we should not put this fear above God. If we have an uncontrollable phobia against dogs or worms, we are letting our imagination get away with us and breaking fellowship with God.

Acts 24:16. A simple definition of conscience is conviction or being conscious of a custom. From a Christian perspective a conscience is all about having God's standard in our heart to guide us in how we conduct ourselves. Our conscience has the highest standard we know. Ideally, this standard aligns with God's standard. God's standard and His purpose for us is to love Him and to provide unmerited favor toward all men in secret and in public. (Acts 24:16, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men").
