22 What is Grace?

23 Grace is giving someone who deserves nothing as though he or she deserves everything. Grace Defined

24 Ephesians 1:1-10 Lavished on us

25 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God s grace 8 that he lavished on us. Ephesians 1:7-8

26 Connecting with Grace

27 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. Ephesians 1:1-10

28 Romans 5:20-6:7 In Christ! Acts 2:36-38

29 When we sin Grace

30 1 John 1:5-10 Purifies us

31 Vs. 7 - Vs. 9 Walk in the light = Confess our sins

32 Standing in Grace

33 Romans 5:1-11 Standing in Grace

34 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. Romans 5:1-2

35 Purposes of Grace

36 Ephesians 2:1-10 Titus 2:11-14 To do good works & teaches us

37 For we are God s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:1-10

38 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

39 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say No to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live selfcontrolled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2:11-14

40 God s grace is sufficient to enable me to say no to

41 Grace is.. Lavished on us by God Found in and through Christ Purifies us when we confess & walk in the light A state of being Prepares us for good works & teaches us to say No
