Grace: The Message of the Church 

Psalm 145:8 – The Lord is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and rich in love.

WHAT IS GRACE?

  • God’s gift to you.

Romans 3:24 – But by the free gift of God’s Grace they are all put right with Him through Christ Jesus who sets them free.

  • A gift received by faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

Romans 4:16a – People receive God’s promise by having faith. This happens so the promise can be a free gift.

  • It’s available to everyone.

Romans 10:13 – Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

  • It comes through Christ.

John 1:17 – The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:15b – Many people have received God’s gift of life by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ.

Galatians 2:21 – Don’t treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there was no need for Christ to die.

  • It brings eternal life.

Romans 6:23 – The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Isaiah 30:18 – The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
