Saved by grace
- 1. SAVED BY GRACE By Holy Spirit through Nifemi
- 2. SALVATION Preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss.
- 3. EPHESIANS 2:9 (NIV) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
- 4. EPHESIANS 2:9 (NLT) God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
- 5. EPHESIANS 2:9 (AMP) For it is by GRACE (God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ) that you have been SAVED (actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life) through FAITH. And this [salvation] is NOT OF YOURSELVES (not through your own effort), but it is the (undeserved, gracious) GIFT OF GOD; not as a result of (your) works (nor your attempts to keep the Law), so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way (for his salvation).
- 6. WHAT HAVE WE BEEN SAVED FROM? EPHESIANS 2:1-3 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
- 7. THE FALL OF MAN PSALM 51: 5 For I was born a sinner--yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
- 8. WHAT HAVE WE BEEN SAVED FROM? ROMANS 8: 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (NLT) Therefore there is now no condemnation (no guilty verdict, no punishment) for those who are in Christ Jesus (who believe in Him as personal Lord and Saviour). (AMP)
- 9. EPHESIANS 2:9 (AMP) For it is by GRACE (God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ) that you have been SAVED (actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life) through FAITH. And this [salvation] is NOT OF YOURSELVES (not through your own effort), but it is the (undeserved, gracious) GIFT OF GOD; not as a result of (your) works (nor your attempts to keep the Law), so that no one will (be able to) boast or take credit in any way (for his salvation).
- 10. SAVED BY GRACE GRACE FREE and UNMERITED favour of God
- 11. SAVED BY GRACE LUKE 23: 39-43 One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself—and us, too, while you’re at it!” 40 But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? 41 We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” 43 And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
- 12. SAVED BY GRACE LUKE 18: 10-14 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Editor's Notes
- Introduce Pray Define Salvation
- We have been delivered from Judgement and instead we have been given eternal life . Verse We were dead and subject to the anger of God before salvation but Jesus paid the ultimate penalty of our sin. We were born into sin and it is only by salvation we have been saved from condemnation.
- First, as a result of Adam's sin we all enter the world with a fallen nature. This is original sin--the sinful tendencies, desires, and dispositions in our hearts with which we are all born. No one teaches a child to fake cry when they want attention or to lie when asked if they broke their toy. In the OT they used animal sacrifices to cleanse them of sin. (blood shed was necessary)
- There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Salvation gives us the opportunity to have a relationship and once we have been saved we have access to the Holy Spirit. When we are truly saved we are no longer condemned to hell but we have everlasting life.
- Free- without cost or payment Unmerited – we cant earn it and we don’t deserve it Grace is where God gives us the opposite of what we deserved. One thing we must understand is that it is not grace because we are a good person or because God already foresaw we would give our lives. He does it just because. There are two stories in the Grace is described as a gift of God that we have chosen to receive. Grace isn’t fair and neither is God.
- There are two stories in the Grace is described as a gift of God that we have chosen to receive. Grace isn’t fair and neither is God.
- We must never think we are saved by actions. Actions do not qualify and neither do they disqualify us. If God was fair we would all be dead! These stories are perfect examples of the power of grace over works
- As people a lot of the time we resist grace because it robs us of our pride. We can no longer take the glory or the credit because everything has to be given to God.
- We cannot come into Christ without knowledge of who he is. Without the knowledge of what Jesus did for us on the cross, without the knowledge that we are sinners and that the blood of Jesus has washed away our sins. We cannot come into him Faith is not a blind leap in the dark
- To believe something is true. It is possible to know something without believing its true. To know all the historical facts about Jesus Christ, to possess thorough knowledge of the facts about salvation, will do our children no good if they do not believe those facts to be true. You can say Jesus died for our sins I believe that Jesus dies for my sins This is not enough
- We must know trust in this knowledge. To trust in the knowledge means to act on it and to live a life based on what you believe. We must commit ourselves to this You can say I believe that Ashleigh will keep my money safe but then it comes to keeping it with them and you don’t do it.
