MEMORISE: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:1
Read: 1 Peter 5:10-11
- But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
- To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Bible In One Year: Obadiah 1:1-21, Revelation 8:1-13
MESSAGE:
Grace is unmerited favour. It is favour that you don’t deserve but God has decided to give to you freely. The Bible even says that God’s grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9). Every genuine child of God enjoys grace, but as humans, there is the tendency to take God’s grace for granted. God is all-forgiving, but it is not a ticket to do as you please (Romans 6:15). God’s grace brings salvation and forgiveness of sin (Ephesians 1:7). You are saved by grace Ephesians 2:8-9 says:
Grace will help you to do the will of God. Even though your flesh will not agree with the will of God sometimes, the grace of God will help you. It is only by grace that you can overcome sin and temptations.
Prayer Point:
Help me not to take your grace for granted.
Hymns: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way
- I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”.
Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
- My heart has no desire to stay,
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground. - Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground. - I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing shall resound
Lord lead me on to higher ground. - Lord lead me up the mountain side,
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
