True Grace of God

INTRODUCTION:

1. As with all things Biblical, there is certainly a great deal of misunderstanding concerning the grace of God.
2. Paul wrote about how the word of truth had been constantly bearing fruit and increasing in the Colossians since the day they heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth. Co 1:5-8.
3. Peter testified to the true grace of God that we might stand firm in it. 1 Pe 5:12.
4. The writer of Hebrews warns, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited” (He 13:8-9).
5. In this and next Sunday morning’s sermon, we are going to strive to understand the grace of God in the truth that we might stand firm in the true grace of God and not be carried away by varied and strange teachings which would not benefit us if we were carried away by them.
