NMS: This morning we discussed GRACE being: 1). A gift, given away to those who believe 2). Free, at no cost to those who receive it and no need for repayment 3). Permanently transferred, never to be returned 4). Given at a cost to the One who paid for it 5). Grace is completely unmerited…The Bible says quite clearly that we don’t deserve God’s salvation. Romans 5:8–10 says, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. . . . While we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son.”

Grace does not stop once we are saved; God is gracious to us for the rest of our lives, working within and upon us. The Bible encourages us with many additional benefits that grace secures for every believer.

Men, what will you do with this free gift you’ve been given? If you are not a believer, this is a difficult concept to grasp. Talk to one of us about how our life is different now vs. before we were gifted His Grace…maybe you will receive His gift of Grace too.
