(4/15/16) GRACE IS AMAZING

(4/15/16)
GRACE IS AMAZING


Hebrews 4:16
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


Grace does not simply save us from the penalty of sins committed, it empowers us to resist the temptation to sin.
Grace that does not empower believers to live a holy life, is not saving grace, it is not God's grace.

2 Corinthians 1:12
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

Grace not only saves from penalty of sin and power of sin, it saves from the pollution of sin.
Grace that that does not purify the heart is not saving grace or God's grace.
