Amazing Grace

-Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...........
-It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
-It's a great thing to fall into the hands of sovereign grace.
-We are worthy of being slain.
-The thoughts of our hearts were only evil continually.
-We are no better than the sinners that murder, rape, or don't love the Lord their God with everything they are at all times.
-Romans 3- There is none righteous, no not one!
-No one seeks after God.
-We are swift to shed blood.
-We are all guilty before God.

NOW WHATS THE GOOD NEWS?

-Now through Christ we have a righteousness!
-It is not based upon the Law!
-BASED UPON GOD'S GRACE
-Made clean by God's grace.
-As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us!
-We can now approach His thrown boldly.
-Not based AT ALL on us, THROUGH CHRIST ALONE!!!!
-While we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
-All the glory goes to God!
-He made us who were dead in trespasses and sins alive IN CHRIST!!!
-By grace we have been saved
-God's grace is sooo sweeet.
-Grace is always free.
-Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more!
-He remembers our sin no more.
-His strength is made perfect in our weakness!
-His grace is eternal!


These are notes from a sermon by Pastor Kevin Otsuji called "Sovereign Grace" It was so amazing the way God revealed to me how much guilt we can hold onto when we sin, but that in itslef is a sin because holding onto the guilt of any little or big sin is saying that the death of Christ on the cross was not sufficient to cover your sins. Remember God is ALWAYS good!
