- We focus too much on the poison of sin and forget the power of grace!
- Religion is our attempt to earn God’s approval by following all the rules!
- Titus 2:11
- Charis: the unmerited goodwill and favor of God.
- The grace that saved us is the same grace that will sustain us.
- Titus 2:11-12
- How does God’s grace change us?
- The focus of religion is outward…
- Matthew 23:25-26
- The power of grace is inward…
- Ephesians 3:16
- Religion says… “Try harder”
- Grace says… “Trust more”
- 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
- Asking for help is never a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom.
- You’re trying to meet a need or relieve a hurt with something besides God’s grace.
- Romans 5:20
Bottom Line: God’s grace is available to all to bring salvation, and it doesn’t just save us, but it sustains us.
