Topic: Grace

Notes:

- I don’t have the power to overcome, and often not the desire- We’re told there’s a level to achieve... you’re not there- You didn’t save yourself and cannot keep yourself; salvation begins and continues in Christ; through Him we overcome; sustained by His spirit- Lazarus was dead as we were; Jesus comes to raise us up- Spiritual death; the world doesn’t know they’re living in the worst condition- People think to get to heaven they must do something; only way is to believe in Jesus Christ; if one work is required then it is not by grace- Nothing can separate me  from God; not my failure, inconsistency or carnal ways- Love and mercy in action are God’s grace to me- God’ grace is forever and unconditional- God will use your weakness- God didn’t take away the thorn in Paul’s side; when have you seen a miracle?- The grace of God does not discriminate- When you were saved, God justified you
