G

General Revelation

God’s use of the natural world and its workings to make his existence, nature, presence, actions and will known to all humanity

Glorification

In theology, it refers to the final stage of our salvation, when we receive a perfect eternal body and fully become what we were meant to be, having complete victory over sin and death.

Gnosticism

Early heresy from the first centuries after Christ. Among other things, they believed that material things were evil, including the human body, which was a prison of the human soul. They consequently believed that God would never take on the form of human flesh, and therefore denied that Jesus was both God and man.

Grace

God's unmerited favor
