The Means of God's Grace
                July 10, 2008                      

God's grace is certainly amazing.  I think of God's grace as something (anything) which points us to Jesus in all of His sufficiency in our lives and more specifically His saving us.  Further, God's grace is amazing in that he uses "common" things to dispense His grace which makes these things uncommon.

It is these things which God uses to show us our sin and even keeps us from sin.

What are these uncommon/common things of which I speak that God uses as means of His grace?  What are these things of which God uses to point us to Jesus and to keep us from sin?

In no particular order...

               
            
  • Our spouses
  • Our children
  • Our work
  • The church
  • Preaching of God's Word
  • Reading of God's Word
  • Studying of God's Word
  • The Holy Spirit
  • Friends
  • Prayer
  • Our failings
  • Our triumphs

 Among many, many, many other means of grace.  What else does God use in our lives to point us to Jesus and keep us from sin?  God's grace is certainly amazing.
