I love these quotes on grace! I especially like the one by Jerry Bridges…what a powerful thought!
Grace creates liberated laughter. The grace of God in Jesus Christ is beautiful, and it radiates joy and awakens humor. —Karl Barth

Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected. —Jonathan Edwards
You will never be called upon to give anyone more grace than God has already given you. —Max Lucado

GRACE AND THE CHRISTIAN
WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE!
Salvation is first, foremost, and always a matter of grace!- Ep 2:5-8
God doesn’t owe us anything
What we deserve is eternal damnation, because all are
sinners – Romans 3:23; 6:23a
Salvation is a gift, which God in lovingkindness offers to man – Romans 6:23b; Tit 3:3-7
GOD’S GRACE REQUIRES HOLY LIVING!
Some people reason that since we are saved by grace, we are
free to do whatever we wish
Yet Paul wrote that the “grace of God…teaches us” to:
a. Deny ungodliness and worldly lusts
b. Live soberly, righteously and godly
c. Look for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of Jesus
Christ – cf. Tit 2:11-13
HOLY LIVING REQUIRES GOD’S GRACE!
To live “soberly, righteously and godly” requires the grace of God
We cannot do it on our own, but with God’s help we can!
He works in us to do His good will – Php 2:12-13
By His strength we can do all the things He desires of us – Php 4:13
