Grace and Works Grace is a gift, undeserved and unmerited Grace is a gift, undeserved and unmerited Grace and works greatly misunderstood Grace and works greatly misunderstood – Grace and works designed to merit salvation do not coexist – Grace and faith at work do coexist Works are of two sorts: Works are of two sorts: – Works of merit, Rom. 11:5-6 (4:4); Eph. 2:8-9 – Works of faith, Tit. 2:11-12; Gal. 5:6 (4) 2

False Doctrines about Grace 3 Give comfort and cover to sin, Jude 4 Example: “You can never be good enough to earn yourself a home in heaven.” (Nobody here says you can!) – False comfort to a Christian: “Sin no longer affects your eternal life in Christ.” – False cover for sin: “Nobody’s perfect” and “everybody sins…” – Truth: Sin brings death! Rom. 6:21-23 GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE

Some False Doctrines 4 Saved by grace alone (irresistible), Josh. 24:15; Matt. 11:28 Cannot fall from grace, Gal. 5:4 Continuous cleansing, Rom. 6:1-2; 1 Jno. 1:7-9 – Imputation of the righteousness of Christ Truth: Christians stand in and rejoice in the “true grace of God” through obedient faith, Lk. 17:9-10 (Rom. 5:2) GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE

By the Grace of God 5 Sinners are saved, Eph. 2:1, 4-7, 8-9 – By grace: God is the source, giving the gift of salvation (mercy and love) – Through faith: The sinner’s faith, produced by the gospel (Rom. 10:17) – Not of yourselves: Salvation is God’s gift, not man’s meritorious expectation GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE

By the Grace of God 6 We are justified, Rom. 3:24 (Tit. 3:7) – Condition: “through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” Redemption through His blood, Eph. 1:7 His blood is shed in His death By faith, the sinner is baptized into His death, Rom. 6:3 – Access in to grace: By faith (not the law of Moses), Rom. 5:1-2 Baptism is a “work of faith” (faith at work) that save sinners by God’s grace! GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE

By the Grace of God 7 We are accepted in the Beloved, Eph. 1:6 – Grace is only granted in Christ – By God’s grace we are made gracious “In the Beloved” we are encompassed with favor, Eph. 1:3 (1:7; Rom. 3:24) Only accepted in Christ: Baptized into Christ, Gal. 3:26-27 – Grace is applied when the sinner is baptized, Titus 3:4-5, 7 GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE

By the Grace of God 8 I am what I am, 1 Cor. 15:10 – Paul was appointed to be an apostle (gift, Eph. 4:7-8, 11) Note that grace labors (it works)! – Abundant grace saves the lost, 1 Tim. 1:12-16; Eph. 1:7 GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE

Not by the Grace of God 10 Turn sin into righteousness, Rom. 6:1-2 – Trusting in God’s grace means you make a choice that sin will not reign over you, Rom. 6:11-14; Gal. 2:17-18 GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE DOESDOES NOT NOTDOESDOES NOT NOT

Not by the Grace of God 11 Turn sin into righteousness – Grace does not… Turn vain worship into true worship, Lev. 10:1-2 (Jno. 4:24) Turn immorality into purity, 1 Cor. 6:9-11 Turn error into truth, Acts 20:32; Gal. 2:20-21 GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE DOESDOES NOT NOTDOESDOES NOT NOT

Not by the Grace of God 12 Sanction fellowship with sin or with those who endorse it – Heart is established by grace, not by doctrines that bind where God does not, Heb. 13:9 – Going beyond what the Lord has bound forfeits grace, 2 John 9 – Those who stand in grace will choose not to have fellowship with those who go beyond the doctrine of Christ, 2 John GRACEGRACEGRACEGRACE DOESDOES NOT NOTDOESDOES NOT NOT
