The Outworking Of Grace
Introduction: God is able to make all grace abound towards us. He has played His part by making grace available to us and in abundance. He expects us to receive His grace in order for us to reign in this life. 2 Peter 3:18 states “But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to Him be glory both now and forever, Amen”. Peter is saying we should give increase to grace. It is our responsibility to grow in God’s grace. In 2 Peter 1:2, Peter greets the church saying grace and peace be multiplied unto you.
Your Authority (Place) In Christ
Introduction: In Gen. 2: 18 God told Adam not to eat of the tree of good and evil and that he will surely die the day he eats of it. It wasn’t a physical but a spiritual death. But Jesus was a worthy sacrifice (1 Pet.1: 18-21). Today we are saved, and as Jesus said to Thomas when he doubted His resurrection, “we are blessed for believing” (John 20:29).
