What does Grace alone mean

What is Grace

Grace in Creation

God does not need us, we need God

He continuously holds everything together

Grace in patience or forbearance

Adam and Eve

Levitical sacrifices

Storing up Wrath

God’s redemptive and saving Grace

Election

Free will?

God is sovereign over all

All things work to the glory of God

Is man’s will greater that a sovereign God?

God will save whom he wills

Potter and the clay

Vessels for honorable use and others for dishonorable use

Irresistible Grace

We cannot work ourselves to heaven

Without the Holy Spirit any work we do is garbage

We cannot save anyone, we are only messengers

No word or testimony will can deliver will be the cause of salvation or prevent salvation

The bride of Christ

All that the Father has given to Jesus

The penalty for our sins is paid

We are new creatures with new priorities

We have the Helper

Our future is secure

None will be able to remove us from his hand, not even ourselves

Without God’s Grace there is no hope

What the covenant of Grace does not mean

Free license to sin

Abolish the law

Jesus said that He was not sent to abolish the law but uphold it

He kept the law perfectly as no other human could

His righteousness is seen by God because we are in Him

Save the entire human race
