Experiencing God’s grace in your life

• How do you know whether or not you are experiencing God’s grace in your life? Here are a few indicators:




• I am sensing His pleasure in a deep, personal way:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. (Gal. 6:18) (See 2 Cor. 13:14)




• I am careful to credit God, rather than myself, for the life changes He is affecting in me:

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (I Cor. 15:10) (See 1 Cor. 4:7; Eph. 3:7)




I am choosing not to abuse the grace of God through willful patterns of chronically sinful

behavior:




• What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?…For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. (Romans 6:1,2,14) (See Rom. 6:15; Gal. 5:13; 1 Pet. 2:16; 2 Pet. 2:18,19; 1 Jn. 1:7-10; 2:1-6)




• I am enjoying His restoration and renewal thorough personal knowledge of His forgiveness:




• …In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace. (Eph. 1:6b,7) (Ps. 32:1,2; 86:5; 130:3,4; Isa. 43:25; 55:6,7; Jer. 31:34;1 Jn.1:8-2:1)




• I am extending His grace to those around me:




• Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Eph. 4:32) (See Lev. 25:35; Lk. 6:27-31,35; Rom. 1:7; 2 Cor. 13:14; 2 Thes. 3:18; Rev. 1:4,5)




• I am engaged in getting His message of grace out to others:




• I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power…This grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. (Eph. 3:7,8b) (See Eph. 3:2)




QUESTION: Are you choosing to appropriate and live in His

grace today?

Prayer Focus• Father, In the name of Jesus, I

surrender myself to walk in the Word in the marketplace. Your word living in me produces the Life in this world.

• The word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. It makes my way plain before me.

• I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God! Amen



Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25

• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do

what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)



Learning, application and commitment

• One of the principles that I have learned from this lesson was …

• I intend to apply this principle in my market place by: …..

• With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will begin applying this truth immediately.



Jesus said: Take what I have given you and change the world!
