Peter O’Brien’s class Reflection 2


Peter O’Brien’s class on Justification by faith in Pauline Epistles was inspiring, compelling and challenging. All his words are meaningful and all the sentences that he made are coherent and they are all arguments. In every class he begins by the word of prayer. Even in his prayers, his words are so coherent and they all go smoothly.
I could see that he is not only a scholar but also a pastor who inspires and challenges to preach. He says that we are all recipients of the marvelous grace of God because of Jesus works on the cross therefore we are to share the grace that we received. We are justified by the grace of God; we have the assurance of justification. There is nothing we can do to be saved, we are all ungodly but God justified us. Being justified by God, we are created in Christ Jesus to do good works. His teachings in the class compel me to preach and teach about the grace of God/ the justification by faith which I freely received. How he builds his arguements in his teachings are challenging as I am struggling writing papers.
