Grace and Salvation
The Grace of God ...
... Addresses man's problem: SIN (Rom. 3:23)
... Provides the divine solution: THE GOSPEL (Rom. 1:16,17; Acts 20:24).
... Offers Abundant Motivation: THE GOODNESS OF GOD, AND EVENTUAL JUDGMENT (Rom.
2:4; Acts 17:30,31).
... Call for a Response: OBEDIENCE, BASED ON FAITH (Mark 16:16; Rom. 16:17,18;
Heb. 5:9) ... specifically: Hear, Believe, Repent, Confess, be Baptized.
... Requires Continued Possession by WALKING IN THE LIGHT (1 Jno. 1:7; Heb.
12:15; Gal. 2:21; 5:4).
