Sermon summary 25 Feb 2018

Aidan Wed, 28/02/2018 - 11:49

Last Sunday we studied the passage of Ephesians 2:v1-10 taking a brief tour of the heights of God's grace in Jesus' death and resurrection.

The passage emphasizes the futility of trying to attain our own salvation by comparing us to a corpse and reveals the incredible worth that God gives us demonstrated in our new position in the heavens.

It is from this position that we have been given good works to do, not to repay God, but now we are no longer 'dead' we are able to do them!

Andrew brought us some statements on Sunday that we could meditate on as we read through this passage:

1. Christians are not "better" than anyone else
2. Absolutely No-one is outside of grace
3. What is the motive for our works?

Nothing to boast about

Permalink Submitted by herb payne on Wed, 28/02/2018 - 15:23

Just love it that there's nothing we can do to earn our salvation, we can't boast about our achievements or indeed panic about our failures. HE HAS SAVED US out of his lovingkindness - his "grace". He has made us alive and we are "seated with Christ". No matter how it feels sometimes that IS our position.
