Sunday in the Word -- Salvation Road

I thought I would share the sermon that Greg Taylor preached today from First Christian Church of Clinton, Illinois.  I never know who might end up finding this blog.  This blog post is for that certain person yet we all need reminded of these truths.  Come walk with me down Salvation Road, otherwise known as the Roman Highway.

Scripture from last week that should be in all of our heads:

Romans 3:23 (NIV)  "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Romans 6:23 (NIV) "for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord!"

This week, Greg talked about Grace:

G --God's
R --Riches
A --At
C --Christ's
E --Expense

3rd key scripture to memorize:

Romans 5:8 (NIV) "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Grace is an 'undeserved blessing,' it is 'unmerited favor.'
Grace can't be earned or bought.
Grace is free, but not cheap.

4th key scripture to memorize:

Romans 10:9 (NIV)  "That is you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

All we have to do to claim this gift of God's Grace:

Confess with your mouth - Jesus is Lord
Believe in your heart - God raised Jesus from the dead.

Remember this:  God's grace is GREATER than all our sin!

Thank you, Greg, for this wonderful reminder to all of us who are saved, and to others, I pray that this ministers to you.
