WHAT IS GRACE? Good done to others who do not
deserve it. The riches of God given to lost sinners. God’s riches at Christ’s expense. Unmerited favor

MERCY AND GRACE Mercy = God sparing me the
punishment I deserve, by punishing His own Son.
Grace = God giving me the blessings only His Son deserves.

GRACE IS NOT STAGNANT How can I be a gracious person?

HUMILITY Start here. 1 Peter 5:5 God is opposed to the proud but gives
grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under
the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

BE SOBER-MINDED 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your
adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour
9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

HE WILL… 10 And after you have suffered a little
while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

BUT… 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so
nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
