THE GRACE OF GOD (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Grace of God
a) What we need to know and understand about God is that He has created the world and you so that He can have compassion and grace on the world and you. God is love and He is full of compassion, this is who He is and what He longs to do. Thus He has allowed a world of suffering and bondage so that He can pour out His compassion and heal and rescue us, He loves to do it, and He needs to do it.
(Isaiah 30:18 NLT)
But the LORD still waits for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for him to help them.
b) With out suffering and bondage there would be no one to rescue, no one to receive God’s compassion.
(Romans 11:32 NIV)
For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy (compassion) on them all.
c) God has set up the world and set us up as an opportunity of His grace.
(Romans 5:20-21 NIV)
The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, {21} so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
d) So God set up our failure so that He could demonstrate His love for us.
(1 John 4:9-10 NIV)
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. {10} This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The End ...
