4. God’s Grace Supplies the Triumph Over Sin Through Jesus Christ The Bible begins with God and ends with Jesus The God of our creation is also the God of our salvation – Hebrews 2:10 Some believe in God but do not believe in Jesus Christ Some would like to have salvation in God without Jesus Christ Some would accept the grace of God if they could have it without Jesus Christ Outside of Christ, there is no salvation – Acts 4:12

8. Closing Admonitions Revelation 1:8 We also need to be able to say Amen as John does By saying Amen we are saying we will obey all of God’s word, not just the parts we feel are relevant We need to develop the attitude of Samuel “Speak, Lord, for your servant hears” Have you appropriated God’s Grace?
