03/25/23 GOD'S AMAZING GRACE

It is AMAZING GRACE.
God's grace not only provides forgiveness for our past sins, it leads us into righteousness and righteous living, it empowers us to resist temptation, it sets us free from all guilt, it purifies us from all sin.
It is not only sad that some folks deny the reality of the greatness of God's amazing grace, but because they deny and reject the work of God's amazing grace they don't have that amazing grace in their lives.
(4/15/16)

GRACE IS AMAZING
Hebrews 4:16
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Grace does not simply save us from the penalty of sins committed, it empowers us to resist the temptation to sin.
Grace that does not empower believers to live a holy life, is not saving grace, it is not God's grace.

2 Corinthians 1:12
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation (conduct, behavior) in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

Grace not only saves from penalty of sin and power of sin, it saves from the pollution of sin.
Grace that that does not purify the heart is not saving grace or God's grace.

12/21/16 GOD’S MULTIFACETED GRACE
(As you read, ask God to enlighten your understanding).
When someone (even a self proclaimed elect person) tells you that it is impossible to be holy or to live a holy life...that person is speaking for himself and testifying to his own lack of grace. That person is not speaking for God.
Instead, here is God’s provision for spiritual victory...
