Wonderful Grace of Jesus – Greater Than All My Sin 6 | Adult Bible Class

Lesson six: Old Testament examples of God’s grace Intro: The O.T. is the Christian’s text book for learning. Rom. 15:4 This is especially true on the subject of Grace. Today we will see the three greatest O.T. examples of grace, in my opinion. 1. Adam and Eve. See Gen. 3:1-7 • They chose the devil over God but God still chose them. Gen 3:9= that’s grace! • Their lives were spared due to future grace. Gen 3:15 = the proto-evangelium • They were “redeemed” by the death of another. Gen. 3:21; Cor.5:21; Eph. 1:7 2. King David.

The nation of Israel Jer. 29:10-14 = that’s grace! • God gave grace to Israel more times than can be counted. Rom.5:20 • They provoked God with their wickedness. Deut. 32:16; Judges 2:11; Psalm 106:43; Isa. 1:3, 18 = That’s grace. • God delivered them but they doubted God. Ex. 12:27; 16:3 • God provided their needs but they complained. Num. 11:1 • They called on God in their trouble and He gave them grace.
