Famous Rev. George Whitefield Quote

For purposes of the quote: “Grace”, translates from the Hebrew masculine noun חֵן chên (Pronounced, khane) meaning; an affinity to righteousness, a propensity to uprightness, a palpable harmony with holiness, a nourishment of faith, knowledge, love, truth, etc. From a Greek translation, “grace” derives from the feminine noun χάρις cháris, (Pronounced, khar’-ece) which means; affinity to righteousness, a propensity to uprightness, abetted spiritual condition, Divine influence on the heart.

Though a righteous person may exist with grace generally and/or with a Divine influence on their heart specifically, the quote accurately depicts temporal life’s unpredictability and a fragility to the noble being’s circumstances. Bad things can happen to good people.
