Sola Gratia<\/a> – Grace alone<\/p>\n

Attacks of temptation upon the Spirit of Christ with me
\nSatan hates Christ, Satan can’t attack Christ directly. Indirectly he attacks the Life of Christ in us.
\nHe wants to tear down Christ’s work in us to embarass God’s plan of Salvation<\/p>\n

Separation – Vengance<\/p>\n

We cannot save ourselves, we are in need of a Saviour<\/p>\n

1 John 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

TULIP<\/a>
\nTotal Depravity
\nUnconditional Election
\nLimited Atonement
\nIrristable Grace
\nPerseverance of the Saints<\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:4<\/p>\n

Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
\nEph 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved–
\nEph 2:6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
\nEph 2:7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God is in a fixed position, we turn, move away, choose to draw near<\/p>\n

Grace is unmerited Love, all at Christ’s expense
\nGrace is unmerited Favour<\/p>\n

Ministry of Reconciliation – <\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 5:18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He cannot increase, nor decrease – God is constant, all powerful (El Shaddai<\/a>), never lacking<\/p>\n

EL-SHADDAI<\/a> (Genesis 17:1, Psalm 91:1) meaning “The God of the mountains or God Almighty” <\/p>\n

Being abased, total surrender<\/p>\n

Intimate relationship<\/p>\n

Created equal under God, saved or not saved<\/p>\n

Christ paid fully for my sin
\nChrist paid fully for guy I don’t get along with, his sin – We need to forgive him because Christ’s Blood has covered it.<\/p>\n

Christ paid for ALL sin<\/p>\n

Romans 5:17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Manufactured faith is inadequate<\/p>\n

God does all the work
\nWe are dead in our transgressions<\/p>\n

Colossians 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
\nColossians 2:14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Antinomy<\/a> – One absolute Truth
\nNot two conflicting truths<\/p>\n

Antinomianism<\/a><\/p>\n

Choosing Truth daily, moment by moment<\/p>\n

Point of Grace (Justification), breaking point<\/p>\n

God’s call to the elect, undeterred <\/p>\n

Was blind and now I see – Amazing Grace (hymn)<\/a><\/p>\n

Spiritual clarity
\nSpiritual illumination<\/p>\n

Talking back to the devil<\/p>\n

Standing in the Light, as He is in the light<\/p>\n

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Application of God’s Word<\/p>\n
