"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- (Ephesians 2:8)
• Life is about choice
• Freedom will come when you:
• Hear God’s Word- Believe God’s Word- Act on God’s Word.
= God’s Word reveals who He is, what He has done for us in Jesus and what He wants of us- We have to choose whether to obey or disobey, to believe or contradict what He says. –= Faith is a matter of choice
Rom 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. (NIV)
Faith is not trying to believe something uncertain or even impossible
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” Hebrews 11:1 NIV
When faith operates the impossible becomes possible.
Let’s talk about Faith and Grace= as a foundation for Christian living.
Rom 5:21 so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NIV)
Our salvation comes as a gift of God’s grace, but it can only be appropriated by the human response of faith. =To understand the process of salvation, we must understand these two words. = faith and Grace.
