BEGINNING GRACE
Ps. 145:8

The Lord is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and
rich in love.

WHAT IS GRACE?

1. God’s gift to me.
But by the free gift of God’s Grace they are all put right
with Him through Christ Jesus who sets them free.
2. Must receive this gift by faith.
Ephesians 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God, not by works so that no one can boast.
Romans 4:16a – People receive God’s promise by having
faith. This happens so the promise can be a free gift.
3. Available to everyone.
Romans 10:13 – Everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved.
4. Always comes through Christ.
John 1:17 – The law was given through Moses, but grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:15b – ….many people have received God’s gift
of life by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.
Gal. 2:21 – Don’t treat the grace of God as meaningless.
For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there
was no need for Christ to die.

5. Brings to us eternal life.
Romans 6:23 – The wages of sin is death, but the free
gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our
Lord.
The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
