As followers of Jesus, you and I know that God’s grace is not cheap. It was costly and expensive. It cost Jesus his very life. A great price was paid for you and I to receive and experience the wonderful grace of God.
Main Points:
1. Receiving God’s grace is the entry point into the Kingdom of God. It’s the starting line of our salvation. No one is forgiven of their sins without receiving the grace of God. But many have wondered, what comes next? What comes after our salvation? What does God want to do in our lives after we have been born again?
2. According to scripture, God's grace teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions. It teaches us to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives as we wait for the return of Christ.
3. We see that recipients of God’s grace cannot live as if they have not experienced His grace. No, grace will change us. Grace leads us to repentance. Grace calls us to obedience. Grace asks us to lay down the old life and pick up a new one. Grace instructs us to walk in holiness and righteousness.
