9-1-2024 “GRACE VS. PERFORMANCE & PERFECTION!” Ephesians 4:7

This week David Sisk leads us in an introductory study of Biblical “Grace” and how it contrasts performance based (works based) religion for the born again believers.

Scriptures used in today’s study:

Eph 4:7  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 

Joh 1:16  And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 

2Co 8:9  For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 

Rom 5:15  But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 

Tit 3:7  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 

Rom 7:7  What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 

Gal 2:21  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. 

Mat 5:48  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

Rom 8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 

Rom 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 
Rom 8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
