THE GIFT OF GRACE

 THE GIFT OF GRACE

The Apostle Paul makes a concerted effort to teach the Ephesians something of the greatness of God’s gift of grace! Chapters 1, 2 and 3 are literally filled and overflowing with grace. Paul speaks of the greatness and glory of grace; the majesty and magnitude of grace; the wealth and wonder of grace, and the loveliness and largeness of their salvation.

• We are blessed with every spiritual blessing.

• We were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world.

• We were adopted in Christ.

• We were redeemed in Christ.

• We are forgiven in Christ.’

• We have an inheritance in Christ.

• We have been sealed with the Spirit of Christ. (1:3-14)

Do you ever stop and reflect upon the greatness of God’s grace to us?

Chances are good that you haven’t.

I say this > you will never, ever have an adequate understanding of the greatness of God’s grace unless and until you understand what we were BEFORE God saved you. Before God acted. Before God intervened.

We were sinners. Without spiritual life. Without God. Without Christ. And without hope.

But God, who is rich in grace and mercy --- changed all that, didn’t He?

He infused us with life.

He gave us a new life.

He caused us to be born again. And WHY? Grace!
