Grace Alone

What this episode covers

Grace Alone Ephesians 2:1-10 Why should I (Lord) let you into heaven? We were once spiritually dead (v.1-3) The human condition: dead in our sins Rich Young Ruler (Matthew 19) Saved by Grace Alone (v.4-9) GRACE - “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.” Why is grace offensive? Our response to God’s grace (v.10-12) Back in the 1500s, the Church had corrupted the meaning of works teaching that: Faith + works = being right with God (justification). But by looking at the Bible, the Reformers like Luther amended the formula to: Faith + Grace = being right with God (justification) + works. James 2:24, 26 – Show me your works. Conclusion “Christianity is not about morality in pursuit of divine reward, but about gratitude in response to God’s grace.” Question to ponder during the week: Why is grace so hard to understand and learn?
