Welcome to the Haynes Street church of Christ
God’s Grace
Grace: Unmerited favor of God toward mankind.Grace must be deeply appreciated, and never be
minimized or perverted.Are you letting God’s grace be given to you in vain?I Cor. 15:9-10: God had been gracious to Paul.Paul considered himself the least of the apostles,
because he had persecuted the church.“His grace toward me was not in vain.”We must not let God’s grace be given to us in vain.
God’s Grace
Paul recognized how unworthy he was. Paul was a gifted man (Acts 22:3; Galatians
1:14; Philippians 3:4-6). What we were before Christ entered our lives
(Romans 3:10-18; Ephesians 2:1-3).Paul acknowledged God’s grace in his life.
He was an apostle by the grace of God (Proverbs 3:5-6; I Timothy 1:12; Ephesians 3:7-8, 6:19; I Corinthians 3:5-7; Acts 17:28).
God has bestowed grace upon you (Rom. 12:3-8).
God’s Grace
Paul worked hard. Philippians 3:7-14: Those things that Paul
thought to be important became unimportant after becoming a Christian.
Matthew 25:14-30: Parable of the talents. I Pet. 4:10-11: Use gifts to glorify God.
Paul acknowledged God’s grace in his life. After Paul worked hard, he still acknowledged
God’s grace. He was not better than anyone else.
Matt. 5:16: As we reflect Christ, we glorify God.
God’s Grace
Romans 6:1-5Do we think that sin, in a way, makes grace more
abundant?Paul tells us a Christian who continues in sin is
denying his or her own identity in Christ.We identify with Christ’s death and resurrection.Thus, we are to live a new life.As we stand before God in judgment, what do
you want to hear God say to you (Matthew 25:21, 23; I Corinthians 15:10)?
The Plan of Salvation
Hear (Romans 1:16; 10:14, 17)Believe (John 8:24; Mark 16:16; Hebrews
11:6)Repent (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30)Confess (Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 10:32-
33)Be baptized (Acts 2:38; 22:16; Mark 16:16)Live faithfully (Revelation 2:10; Matthew
6:33; Romans 12:1-2; I Corinthians 15:58)
