Four Illegitimate Questions on
Salvation, Grace & Obedience
Slide3
What is the Source of Salvation – God, grace or obedience?
God Himself is the source of salvation
(Psalm 3:8; 62:1; Isaiah 12:1-3; Luke 3:6; Acts 28:28; Philippians 2:28)
Grace is the channel God has chosen to deliver salvation
(Titus 2:11; Acts 15:11; Ephesians 2:8)
Faith & Obedience are the channel through which we respond to God’s grace
(Romans 5:2; Hebrews 5:8-9; Titus 3:5-7; 1 Peter 3:21)Slide4
We obey God
for all of these reasons!
Fear
(Hebrews 12:28; Eccl. 12:13)
Grace
(Titus 2:11-14)
Just because
(Exodus 5:2)
Do WE OBEY GOD THROUGH FEAR, RESPONSE TO GRACE, OR Just because?Slide5
Yes!
We serve God because we have been saved by His grace
(Hebrews 9:14; Romans 6:17-18)
We serve God to be saved
(1 Thessalonians 1:9; Mark 13:13)
Do we serve god because we are saved or in order to be saved?Slide6
There are no degrees of
perfection –
a thing is either perfect or it isn’t!
Grace is not based on perfection at all.
It was offered to the chief of sinners
(1 Timothy 1:14-15)
It is not offered according to our works
(2 Timothy 1:9)
Every Christian should be striving for perfection
(Matthew 5:48; 2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Peter 5:10)
On a scale of 1 t0 10, how perfect do we have to be to receive grace?Slide7
