What is God'...ACCESS TO GRACE BY STEVE FINNELL<br /><br />What is God's grace and how do men access that grace? Grace is not earned, it is obtained.<br /><br />Grace is an unmerited favor granted by God to all who meet His requirements.<br /><br />Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ 2 through whom we have gained access by faith unto this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (NIV 1973)<br /><br />A. Justified through faith, which is obtained by hearing and believing the gospel. (Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.) NIV 1973<br /><br />B. Grace is accessed by faith. Faith is not accessed by grace.<br /><br />Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--(NIV 1973)<br /><br />What is the gift of God? Answer: Salvation through faith.<br /><br />Grace is the reason salvation is available through faith. Grace in and of itself cannot save anyone. Grace must be obtained.<br /><br />Grace is available only because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. (NIV 1973)<br /><br />Salvation is available to all men that meet God's terms for accessing His grace.<br /><br />Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. (NIV 1973)<br /><br />The truth is, many are waiting for Jesus to return who have not accessed God's grace.<br /><br />HOW TO ACCESS GOD'S GRACE<br />1. Faith--John 3:16<br />2. Repentance--Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19<br />3. Confession--Romans 10:9-10<br />4. Water Immersion--Mark 16:16, Acts 22:16<br /><br />YOU ARE INVITED TO FOLLOW MY BLOG>> steve-finnell.blogspot.comSteve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863026367048527526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596291981466809588.post-86160142287413477822016-09-30T05:41:25.306-04:002016-09-30T05:41:25.306-04:00she is beautiful.
