1. Some Things grace will not do!

2. Ephesians 2:8-9 Titus 2:11-12 1 Corinthians 15:10 Romans 3:23-24
We Need Grace!
Ephesians 2:8-9
Titus 2:11-12
1 Corinthians 15:10

3. Negate our need for obedience Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 1:5, 16:26, 2:4-8
Grace will Not:
Negate our need for obedience
Ephesians 2:8-9
Romans 1:5, 16:26, 2:4-8
John 1:17
Clearly, faith calls for a response! Cf. Hebrews 5:9
Romans 5:20-6:4

4. Grace will Not: Make it impossible to sin and fall away
Obviously we know that we do sin!
John even warns against arrogance, 1 John 1:8-10
Galatians 1:6-7, then 5:4
Hebrews 2:1, give more earnest heed
Hebrews 12:14-15, we can fall short of the grace
James 5:19-20 – if one wanders from the truth

5. Turn sin into righteousness Some teach God will overlook certain sins
Grace will Not:
Turn sin into righteousness
Some teach God will overlook certain sins
Romans 6:1-2

6. Grace will Not:
Turn sin into righteousness
It will not turn false worship into true worship John 4:24, Matthew 15:8-9
It will not turn immorality into purity
It will not turn error into truth - Acts 20:32, Galatians 2:20-21
Typically, when one seeks to justify sin there is a motive

7. Grace will Not: Sanction fellowship with sin and error
How do we deal with error and those in sin?
Some falsely appeal to Romans 14:4, clearly dealing with a certain type of difference – NOT doctrinal error or immorality!
How far are we willing to take this?
2 John 9-11
Ephesians 5:11
Jude 22-23, James 5:19-20
