I. Grace
- A. Brings salvation (Ephesians 2:8)
B. Has appeared to all men (Ephesians 2:9-10)
C. Is a teacher – what does grace teach us?
II. Grace teaches how we should live
- A. Soberly – we must have self-control (1 Thessalonians 5:6; 1 Peter 5:8; 1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 2:2, 6)
B. Righteously – we must live right in a world of wrong (Matthew 5:14-16; Ephesians 5:3-7, 11; Galatians 6:10)
C. Godly – we must strive to be more like God (1 Cor. 6:20; 1 Timothy 2:2, 10; 3:16; 4:7, 8; 6:3, 5, 6, 11)
III. Grace teaches about Jesus
- A. We must look for His appearing – a terrifying thought to those not living according to the teachings of grace (2 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Timothy 4:8)
B. He sacrificed Himself for us (Galatians 2:20)
C. He purified us for Him (Ephesians 5:25-27)
D. Because of Him, we must be zealous for good works (Ephesians 2:10)
