New Life ABF Ezekiel: A Brief Excursus
Grace: the unmerited favor of one to another – specifically with God in the giving of forgiveness and mercy for life and living.
Grace: How does it flow: • It is a Theme for God: Proverbs 3:34; Ps. 138:6; James 4:6 • It was embodied in Christ: John 1:14-18 • It is the means for reconciliation with God: Romans 3:24, 4:16, 5:15-21; Eph. 1:7, 2:1-10; 2 Ti. 1:9; Titus 2:11; Heb. 2:9 • It is how we are kept in God: Rom. 5:1-2, 11:6; Gal 2:21; 2 Thess. 2:16 • It is the perspective of our lives: Rom. 12:3-6; 1 Cor. 3:10, 15:10; 2 Cor. 6:1, 9:8, 9:14; Eph. 4:7; 2 Thess. 1:12; 1 Peter 3:7, 5:10 • It is how we relate: 2 Cor. 4:13-15; Eph 4:29; Col. 4:6; 2 Cor. 12:9; James 4:1-10
Grace: How easy is it to forget? Ezra 9:1-15
Some Implications of the Doctrines of Grace • Our boasting is in the Lord (Rom. 3:27; 1 Cor. 1:31, 12:9) • We are not our own (1 Cor. 6:20, 7:23) • We are impotent without Him (John 15:5) • Grace is a gift
