5. How many of you believe in the

grace is?
▸Grace is often defined as “God’s
unmerited favor” meaning we don't earn it
or deserve it and indeed this is the case!

salvation!
▸2 Cor 6:1 We then, as workers together with
Him also plead with you not to receive the
grace of God in vain.
▪ God’s grace is to bring about “life change!”

10. One being set free from sin is not
the end but the beginning!
(Mt. 28:18-20; Rom. 6:3-4)
▪ Everyone of us is to be learning daily from
Jesus, we are all still “a work in progress!”
▪ Grace comes freely, but with the blessing

deed and purify for Himself His own special
people, zealous for good works.”
