This sermon presents 5 characteristics of grace to help you identify genuine, Biblical, saving grace.
This sermon is about the topic of grace and its characteristics. Grace is the unmerited favor of God, meaning it is something we don't earn or deserve. It is a gift from God, given freely to us. We are saved by grace through faith, not by our own works. Salvation cannot be achieved or qualified for; it can only be received as a gift.
The grace of God has appeared to all people, but not everyone has accepted it. To access this grace, we need to have faith in Jesus and believe that His forgiveness applies to us personally. Faith is like a pipeline through which God transfers His gift of forgiveness to us. We can receive this gift by opening our hearts and inviting Jesus into our lives.
Grace is not something hidden or obscure; it has been revealed to us through Jesus. He embodied the grace of God and showed us how to live in grace. Grace is not just a past revelation; it is something we currently stand in if we are saved. It provides us with peace and a confident hope for the future.
Grace is also acceptance. Through grace, we are accepted by God and become part of His family. This acceptance fulfills our innate need for belonging and gives our lives purpose and meaning.
Grace is also a calling. When we are saved, we are called to a life of service in God's kingdom. He equips us with spiritual gifts to fulfill this calling. These gifts are given to us at the moment of salvation and should be developed and used for God's glory.
Finally, grace leads to eternal life. When we have Jesus in our lives, we have the assurance of eternal life. This certainty brings stability to our faith and allows us to live with confidence in God's promises.
In conclusion, God's grace is a gift that is freely given to us. It is revealed through Jesus and brings acceptance, calling, and eternal life. We have the choice to receive or reject this gift.
