About

A. W. Tozier

• “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people have ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.”

F. E. Marsh • An acceptance that can never be questioned (Eph. 1:6)• An inheritance that can never be lost (1 Peter. 1:3-5)• A deliverance than can never be excelled (2 Cor. 1:10)• A grace that can never be limited (2 Cor. 12:9)• A hope that can never be disappointed (Heb. 6:18-19)• A bounty that can never be withdrawn (Col. 3:21-23)• A joy that need never be diminished (John 15:11)• A nearness to God that can never be reversed (Eph. 2:13)• A peace that can never be disturbed (John 14:27)• A righteousness that can never be tarnished (2 Cor. 5:21)• A salvation that can never be canceled (Heb. 5:9)

Spurgeon

• “A vast and fruitful country, a land of hills and valleys, a land of fountains and brooks. Who shall spy it out and set the bounds thereof.”

THE GRACE OF GOD AS IT RELATED TO HIS SALVATION

• The Experience of God's Grace– “Communism (Socialism) can put a new suit on a

man! Communism(Socialism) can give a man a new house!” Yes, but the grace of God can put a new man in that new suit! The grace of God can put a new man in that new home!”

– A Christian is more than someone who just turned over a new leaf. They have received a new life.

• The Essence of God's Grace 

THE GRACE OF GOD AS IT RELATED TO HIS MOTIVATION

• A Service That Was Exceptional• A Service That Was Encouraged– Why do we serve God? If we were honest, some

would have to admit they serve for what they get out it. Some serve in order to be seen or recognized. The truth of the matter is that we should serve God out of gratitude. The grace of God should motivate us to serve the Lord!

THE GRACE OF GOD AS IT RELATED TO HIS QUALIFICATION

• The Personal Accomplishment That Was Denied
