super-abounded” (Rom 5:20).1 Sinful human beings have been “justified as a gift, by his [God’s] grace (charis), through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom 3:24). Paul says his converts were called “in charis” (Gal 1:6), and the same is true of Paul (Gal 1:15). “By the charis of God I am what I am, and his charis toward me was not in vain; rather, I worked harder than them all—not I, but the charis of God with me” (1 Cor 15:10). By contrast, to be disjoined from Christ is to “fall from charis” (Gal 5:4).
