Q

St. Paul said, “Where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more.” Explain what this quote means in connection to the class and provide at least one example as evidence. Your example needs to clearly explain the story and how it ties to the quote.

A

Meaning of the quote: We see time and time again throughout the bible that despite the fact that we sin and go against God, that does NOT keep God from reaching out, showering us with his grace and mercy, and bringing us back into relationship with him. Our sins do not make God abandon us.
Story: you can tell a MULTITUDE of stories such as Noah and the flood, the time of the judges, Cain and Abel, the tower of Babel, etc. BUT you must explain the story by showing / explaining the sin in the story and also how God responds showing that His grace is overflowing in the story.
