Presentation transcript:

If there is a theme upon which Paul dwelt extensively, it is the subject of grace Paul taught grace, as "unmerited favor from God, bestowed freely but conditionally upon those who love and submit to God Rom 3:24; Rom 5: Note the instances of "free gift... by grace"

Paul wrote of function of grace Tit 2:11-14 – Teaches men how to live in world v 12 – Builds hope of return of Christ; grace that surrounds the saved as a people for God's own possession v 13 – Theme that occupied much of his writing – Grace is motivation to be zealous of good works as God's own special people v 14

Theme of Paul's writings seems to be his new life in Christ 1Cor 15:10. – He claimed grace "bestowed.....not in vain" In the expression, "the grace of God," Paul describes the gospel in its essential and most comprehensive sense Acts 20:24

PAUL'S CHRONOLOGICAL THINKING – Mention of grace brought Paul back to his own conversion.1Cor 15:8-10 He remembered his past v 9. It humbled him v 9 It moved him to work more abundantly v 10

PAUL'S CHRONOLOGICAL THINKING – Mention of grace brought Paul back to his own conversion 1Cor 15:8-10 It made him realize the greatness of God's power in the grace he received. "... yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" v 10

PAUL'S CHRONOLOGICAL THINKING – He returned to his earliest days Gal 1:15 Knew he was "separated" -- chosen for a special task. Acts 26:15; 2Thess 2:14 His calling was to preach Eph. 3:8 At the crux of his explanation of the great mystery, [the dispensation (stewardship) from God given him to preach] he breaks into a self-accusing memory of what he had been

PAUL'S CHRONOLOGICAL THINKING – Grace called him to self-appraisal 1Tim 1:12-16 a sinner "....of whom I am chief" (Present tense)

PAUL'S PERSONAL THINKING – Never of grace as an unconditional covering of sins of any kind Rom 6:3-5 Thought not only of grace given freely, but as a gift that must be obtained through faith and obedience 1Tim 1:13; 2Cor 6:1 Salvation by grace through faith requires works Gal 5:6; Eph 2:8-10

PAUL'S PERSONAL THINKING – Paul associated being baptized into Christ with being saved by grace (The Ephesians saved by grace, but were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Acts 19:1-5)

PAUL'S PERSONAL THINKING – Paul conceived of grace that is greater than our sins No matter how deep in sin a person may sink, he can take heart--Paul was "chief of sinners" and was saved The only limits to the saving power of grace is man's own will - God gives -- does not force reception Jas 4:6; 1Pet 5:5

THE MEANS OF OBTAINING SALVATION BY GRACE – Faith -- Eph 2:6-8 "by grace through faith" Faith is man's response to God's offer Rom 10:9-10 God's gift is salvation through Christ 2Cor 9:13

THE MEANS OF OBTAINING SALVATION BY GRACE – Obedience -- Works Gal 5:6 – Continued Faithfulness -- Rom 5:1

When men and women are saved by grace, grace triumphs over sin and takes the throne it has usurped in the hearts of men Rom 5:21 Christian living as seen through Paul's eyes is a "state of grace," a life lived in the radiant sunshine of God's unmerited favor

Ask yourself--how much stands between me and the reception of this wonderful gift
