WHAT IS GRACE?
“GRACE IS THE UNDESERVED AND UNMERITED FAVOR OF GOD.”
(J.I. PACKER)
“GRACE IS GOD’S WONDERFUL ACCEPTANCE OF US NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE EARNED OR DESERVE IT
BUT BECAUSE HE GIVES IT TO US FREELY AT CHRIST’S EXPENSE.”
(DANIEL MONTGOMERY AND TIMOTHY PAUL JONES)
BIBLICAL REASONS WHY WE ARE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF GOD’S GRACE:
•WE ARE MORALLY CORRUPT AND WICKED (PSALM 14:2-3)
•WE DESERVE TO BE JUDGED AND PUNISHED FOR OUR SINS (EPHESIANS 2:3B)
•WE ARE POWERLESS ON OUR OWN TO REACH GOD (ISAIAH 64:6)
•GOD DOESN’T OWE US ANYTHING (ROMANS 6:23)
•WE ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD (EPHESIANS 2:1-3)
THE “RICHES OF HIS GRACE”…….
•GRACE IS AN UNDESERVED GIFT THAT IS FREELY GIVEN
•GRACE IS UNMERITED FAVOR THAT ALWAYS FLOWS DOWNWARD
•GRACE IS OVERWHELMING (IRRESISTIBLE, OUTRAGEOUS, OVERCOMING)
•GRACE PRODUCES GLADNESS
