Grace The Power To Change

Part 4

Where Sin Abounds

How does grace help the sin problem?

Grace is not God’s ability to overlook your sin; it is His ability working in you to deliver you from sin.

What is the difference between mercy and grace?

Mercy is God’s ability to forgive when we sin. Grace is God’s ability to overcome sin.

What effect does sin have on our hearts?

Sin damages the heart making it difficult for us to trust God in the future. It makes us doubt God’s love and His ability to forgive.

What is humility and why do we need it?

Humility is the willingness to surrender your will, your opinions, and your views to the view and will of God. We cannot receive grace unless we are humble. As we draw near to God and submit ourselves to Him and depend on Him we begin to partake of His grace.

What power does Satan have over us?

His only power is deception and accusation. When we fail to believe the truth, in that state of dullness and confusion, Satan is able to attack and destroy.

How do you win the battle over Satan?

Simply by gaining control of your thoughts and beliefs.

Truths to meditate on:

There is always more grace than there is temptation. God wants you to avoid sin because it destroys you. What you focus on, you gravitate toward.
