Part 3 of 3"God's Grace Towards Us"

"False Grace vs True Grace"

False Grace will allow you to do what you want and not care.

True Grace will motivate you to walk in freedom from sin.

False Grace will breed passivity.

True Grace will see the needs and get involved.

False Grace will slowly stop giving.

True Grace will give abundantly and with joy.

False Grace will have no focus in vision for the future.

True Grace will be motivated to stir up the gifts of God and see the       unseen.

Quote by Barry Bennette

"Grace is God's power.  Grace is God's strength.  Grace is God's provision.  Grace teaches us.  Grace motivates us.  Grace works through us.  Grace has provided us with relationship with the Father, He lives in us by grace and then that grace wants to express itself through us to other people.  That is the message of grace."

What shall we say then? 

Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 

Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

What then? Shall we sin because we are
not under law but under grace? 

Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin,

 you became slaves of righteousness.
