God’s Amazing Grace
1. …properly, that which affords joy,
pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm,
loveliness: grace of speech…
2. …the N. T. writers use grace preeminently of that kindness by which God
bestow: favors even upon the illdeserving, and grants to sinners the
pardon of their offences, and bids them
accept of eternal salvation through
Christ…
The Grace of God is defined in Eph. 2:4-10
Romans 3:10 As it is written: "There is none
righteous, no, not one;
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God,
James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the
whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is
guilty of all.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been
saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of
works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we
are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them.
Two parts to salvation
1. Grace is God’s part
2. Obedient faith is man’s part
Romans 1:5 Through Him we have received
grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith
among all nations for His name,
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings
salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly in the present age, 13
looking for the blessed hope and glorious
appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus
Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He
might redeem us from every lawless deed and
purify for Himself His own special people,
zealous for good works.
Jesus explains it best in Luke 17:7-10
God’s Grace can be abused
Gal. 2:21 indicates that we can frustrate or
nullify the grace of God.
2 Corinthians 6:1 … receive the grace of God
in vain.
Jude 1:4 … some turned the grace of God into
lewdness
Gal. 5:4 … you have fallen from grace
Growing in God’s Grace means that we can
stand (Rom. 5:1-2) and grow strong
in God’s Grace (2 Tim. 2:1).
Grace is not a license to sin.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin that grace may abound? 2
Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live
any longer in it?
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in
the light, we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us
from all sin.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin that grace may abound? 2
Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin
live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know
that as many of us as were baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into His death? 4
Therefore we were buried with Him through
baptism into death, that just as Christ was
raised from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.
How are we to walk?
1 John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought
himself also to walk just as He walked.
2 John 1:6 This is love, that we walk
according to His commandments. This is the
commandment, that as you have heard from
the beginning, you should walk in it.
Ephesians 5:15 See then that you walk
circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
1 John 5:13 We can know that we have
eternal life
1 John 2:5 We can know that we are in Christ
when we keep his Word
Rom. 8:1 There is no condemnation in Christ
Jesus
2 Tim. 4:6-8 Paul knew he was going to
heaven and so can we
