THE GRACE OF GOD (5)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Grace of God
a) The scene of the cross was the ultimate demonstration of love. God was willing to suffer in agony and pain to demonstrate the love that He has for you and me. Every time we sin we must remember the cross and thank God for His grace and compassion for us because that is where each sin was paid for, even the ones that we commit today.
b) After we accept the free gift of grace given to us through Jesus paying the price of our salvation we then begin a new life in Christ. When we accept Jesus into our heart He sends the Holy Spirit into us to begin our spiritual life in Christ.
(2 Corinthians 1:21-22 NIV)
Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, {22} set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
c) The Holy Spirit is given to us to be with us forever, the Holy Spirit is God in us.
(John 14:16-17 NKJV)
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; {17} “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
d) The Holy Spirit teaches us truth from God, and directs us toward obeying God. Obedience to God is summed up by being in Love, Loving God and Loving people through the Spirit of Love.
(1 Peter 1:22 NKJV)
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.
e) It is the work of the Holy Spirit that is transforming us and changing our will and our desires to walk in love and obedience to God.
(Philippians 2:13 NLT)
For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him.
