Theme: Romans: The Power of God at Work in Us
Brethren,
I trust this email finds you well.
This quarter, we have looked at The Righteousness of God, and The Power of Faith in Salvation. This Sunday, our topic is Saved by Grace. This subject of salvation by grace cannot be overemphasized as it is central in all of God’s dealings with man.
Key Learnings:
1. Being saved and remaining saved is by God’s undeserved kindness (grace). We are saved by grace, not by a mixture of God’s grace and our meritorious works.
a. Grace undergirds all of God’s dealing with man:
b. It is by grace we can hear the gospel, understand it, and embrace it for salvation.
c. It is grace that sustains us in the Lord, not our good (best) efforts.
2. As Christians, we are not alone in our trials and temptations. No matter how bad things may seem, God will always have a remnant that refuses to “bow the knee to Baal” – a remnant that, by God’s grace, keeps their covenant of obedience to God. Romans
a. The fulfillment of God’s purposes is not up to man but up to God.
b. That God hardens some and grants grace to others does not mean we should take grace for granted.
3. Being saved by grace means that one should not and cannot afford to look down on those who are still living in the bondage of sin.
a. Rather, we should be grateful for God’s grace.
b. And like Apostle Paul, earnestly seek the salvation of others.
c. God’s grace is both kind and stern
