Responding to God’s Grace

RESPONDING TO GOD’S

GRACE

Introduction

God has the power to do anything He

wants. He uses His power to show us

GRACE.

The love of God is not to raise our self-esteem, but to save us from SELF-centeredness so we can glorify Him.

What is Grace?

“Grace is nothing

more or less than the

face LOVE wears

when it meets

imperfection,

weakness, failure,

and SIN.”

It is the quality of

God that causes

Him not to deal

with us as we

DESERVE due to our

sins.

God’s grace is

given

to all who will

TRUST Him.

God’s grace?

put God FIRST,

love OTHERS, and

OBEY His commands.

B. WORSHIP
