The hymn “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” opens “tune my heart to sing thy (10[2])[this (10[1]-5[1])concept].” (-5[1])In Ephesians 3:2 (“chapter three, verse 2”), Paul declares that his ministry (10[1])is to preach the gospel of this concept. (-5[2])A verse about this concept (-5[1])and peace from God begins Philippians. Saint Augustine believed that people were drawn to conversion by a (-5[1])“prevenient” (10[2])form (10[1])of (10[2])this (10[2])concept, (10[1])which is similar to a later “irresistible” form (10[1])in Calvinism. (10[2])People are saved by faith (10[1])through this concept according to the idea of imputed righteousness. (10[1])For 10 points, name this spontaneous gift from God that names a prayer said before meals and a hymn that calls (10[1])it “Amazing.” (10[1])■END■ (10[5])
