WALKING IN GRACE: CHRIST, OUR LIFE

Review

Humanism is the worst heresy in the present

day church.

To show grace is to extend favor or kindness to one

who doesn’t deserve it, who can never earn it and who

can never repay it.

There is nothing you can do to make God

love you less and nothing you can do to

make God love you more.

“Without faith it is impossible to please

God.”

Is your walk of discipleship made up of you trying to do things for Christ?

or in allowing Christ to do things IN and THROUGH you?

To be in Jesus is not only an outward

profession, but also an inward change of heart and indwelling of His

Holy Spirit.

We are no longer slaves to sin.

2 Peter 1:2-4

Verse 2 “May you know more

and more of grace and peace as your

knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord grows deeper.” (Phillips)

2 Peter 3:18“Grow in the grace

and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ.”

Verse 3 “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through

our

knowledge of him who called us by his

own glory and goodness.”

If Jesus wants us to walk on water, move a mountain, overcome temptation, forgive

someone, show love to our enemy

or lead a person to know Christ, we can

be sure He has already given us ALL

we need to do it.

The GOALGOAL is that we obtain eternal life and become like

Christ.

The SOURCESOURCE of this eternal life and

godliness is divine power.

The MEANSMEANS by which this power

produces this life and godliness is through knowledge of God,

which teaches us His promises to guide us out of sin and into an obedient walk with

Him.

Verse 4 “Through these he

has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you

may participate in the divine nature and

escape the corruption in the

world caused by evil desires.”

This knowledge empowers us with the strength to be liberated from sin

and also to share in the divine nature.

Before you can walk the walk of grace you

must:

Come to the end of your self-sufficiency

either on your own or with God’s help.

Thank God for His grace by which you

have been saved and made able to live the

Christian life.

Empty yourself of everything in your

life and then ask God to fill you with what HE desires for you to

have.

Ask the Holy Spirit daily to take control

of your life and transform you into whom you ought to BE and help you do what you ought to

DO.

Let Christ be in charge of your life

through prayer, Bible study and

meditation.

C. S. Lewis

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS EASY IF YOU LET

CHRIST BE IN CHARGE.

Matthew 11:28-30-“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from

me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my

burden is light.”

Notice that the rest and easy burden

comes ONLY to those who put the yoke of Jesus upon them.

Jesus is the only one able to direct a

human body perfectly in the life that the Father has

planned.

The Spirit is like your personal spirit

trainer.
