Reflection
Points:
Have you ever deserved a traffic ticket or a penalty, but were let off the hook? How did that feel?
Read Galatians 2:21 (below). How do we try to gain righteousness?
What does it mean, "if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Read Ephesians 1:4-5. How does knowing you are adopted change your view of what God has done for you?
Power
Verses:
Romans 3:23-24, "… for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." (NIV)
Romans 5:20b-21, "But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (NIV)
Romans 11:5-6, "So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." (NIV)
Galatians 2:21, "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" (NIV)
Ephesians 1:4-6, "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves." (NIV)
