1 Saving Grace

2 1 Peter 4:10 (NKJV) 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

3 In Greek: Manifold is the word Poikílos which means various kinds, diversified or many coloured.

4 You might have heard some of these some common phrases: a.if it sounds too good to be true... It probably is.. b. We make money the old fashion way... we earn it. c.there s no such t d.hing as a free... lunch. d.there is no gain without... pain. e. God helps those who... help themselves.

5 In Regards to Salvation Here is the problem With That Mind-set: A. When it comes to our salvation we think that if we work hard enough we can earn it. B. We think if I m good enough if I go to church enough if I pray enough if I give enough money to the church if I read the Bible enough then God will love me and

6 Psalms 145:8 (NKJV) The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy.

7 Romans 5:8 (NKJV) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

8 For the Christian grace is the heart of our faith. It is the centre of our relationship with God. When we come to understand that our salvation is based on grace we will be drawn closer to God and we will love God more. Grace is like a multi-faceted diamond there are many aspects to it. Grace has been defined in a variety of ways: some have said

9 Some have said grace is, "God s love in action." Others define it as: "God giving me what I need not what I deserve. "Grace is the face that God wears when He looks at my failures."

10 1 Corinthians 15:10 (NKJV) But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 The Difference Between Mercy & Grace: Mercy is when God doesn t give us what we deserve punishment. Grace is when God gives us what we don t deserve blessing. God s saving grace is a blessing to anyone who will receive it.

12 5 Aspects of God s Saving Grace

13 1. God s Saving Grace is a GIFT Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV) By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 (NLT) God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.

14 2. God s Saving Grace Must Be RECEIVED Ecclesiastes 5:19 (HCSB) God has also given riches and wealth to every man, and He has allowed him to enjoy them, take his reward, and rejoice in his labor. This is a gift of God.

15 How do you receive it? You receive it in faith. Faith is the key that unlocks the door to heaven. Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV) By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

16 Saving grace becomes activated by your faith. God says, Salvation is a gift here it is have faith in Me take it.

17 Do you remember the story that Jesus told of the prodigal son? Luke 15:11-32 It is a story of God s Saving Grace.

18 3. God s Saving Grace is Available to EVERYONE Titus 2:11 (NKJV) For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. Titus 2:11 (MSG) God s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation s available for everyone!

19 Acts 2:21 (HCSB) Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved

20 4. God s Saving Grace Comes Through JESUS CHRIST John 1:17 (NKJV) The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

21 John 3:16-17 (NKJV) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

22 G.R.A.C.E God s Riches At Christ s Expense.

23 5. God s Saving Grace is Extended for ETERNITY Romans 6:23 (NKJV) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

24 The Bible tells us that heaven is going to be like three things. 1. A place of reunion. We will be reunited with other loved ones who have accepted God s saving grace. 2. A place of reward. We will be rewarded for the Christian character that we developed and our service to other people here on earth. 3. A place of release. It will be a place of no more pain, no more sadness, no more sorrow, no more suffering. It will be a place where all grief, all depression, all loneliness is gone.
