Transcript of Responding to God’s Grace
RESPONDING TO GOD’S
GRACE
Introduction
God has the power to do anything He
wants. He uses His power to show us
GRACE.
The love of God is not to raise our self-esteem, but to save us from SELF-centeredness so we can glorify Him.
What is Grace?
“Grace is nothing
more or less than the
face LOVE wears
when it meets
imperfection,
weakness, failure,
and SIN.”
It is the quality of
God that causes
Him not to deal
with us as we
DESERVE due to our
sins.
God’s grace is
given
to all who will
TRUST Him.
How do we respond to
God’s grace?

FAITH in JESUS
FAITH is a
DECISION
to believe what
God says and
promises.
FAITH is a GIFT of
God to enable us to
hear and believe
His self-revelation
as TRUE.
FAITH enables us to
put God FIRST,
love OTHERS, and
OBEY His commands.
B. WORSHIP
(Romans 15:8-9)
WORSHIP is
giving God what
he alone
DESERVES.

deepens our
LOVE for God.

to praise and

way of
LIFE/living.
