Genesis 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. The Path Ahead must be laid with Grace: Gen. 8:21-22, And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.  While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”

Common Grace:

  • Common grace then is not limited to the elect.
  • Common grace is given more to the unsaved than those that believe.
    • I believe that one of the reasons that God shows this common grace is for evangelism.
    • It Seems
  • Common grace never will remove the guilt and the penalty of sin in anyone’s life.
  • Common grace can be rejected.
    • Romans 1:21-22 God has spoken to man through the creation and man even though he saw the light of the fact that God was a supreme being his eternal power and divinity he turned away from that grace.
    • Everyone does what is right in his own eyes.  So what is good for one is different for another, we need a trustworthy and true guide for your life and I believe that is the Word of God.

Saving Grace:

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

  • Grace that one must fully come too, to gain a true understanding  of God
  • We are sinners and need God to free of sin by admitting that we need a Savior.
  • Remember from the place we came! Ephesians 2:1-7
