Grace

Sikh theology already has a developed grace vocabulary (ਕਿਰਪਾ/ਨਦਰ, God’s gracious glance) that is genuinely gift-like, unlike Hindu karma-merit accounting — but Sikh kirpa is received through the Guru’s mediation and a life of Naam-simran (meditation on the divine Name), not through faith in Christ’s atoning work alone. Every use of ਕਿਰਪਾ in this curriculum must make the exclusivity of its source in Christ explicit; do not let the term’s Sikh devotional warmth substitute for that specificity.
