GOD's Grace

Amazing Grace
Your Grace is Enough
Grace Greater Than All Our Sin

These are just a short list of songs of our faith, both old and new that speak to the grace which God has given to us.

Grace is not something that can be earned or worked for, but something that is given even when it may not be deserving. It is a pardon of someone who has done something wrong or let someone else down. A second chance when it may not exactly be deserved.

When thinking of God's grace it is easy to say that it is good and that is fine. But what is it really about God's grace that makes it really so gracious?

As people who are undeserving of the things that God has already bestowed on us, why do we continue to recieve His grace when it would make more sense to just be cast away for our transgressions.

For the R9-Guys Wednesday night I wanted to exam grace, but on a more personal level. What does it mean to you as a Christian? As a follower of Christ, does the grace God has so freely given truly effected your life? Does the grace He has freely bestowed upon you change the way you interact with people and treat them? Or do you just see God's grace as a "GET OUT OF HELL FREE" card in sort of a Biblical game of monopoly?

Look at Titus 3:1-11 (vs. 7)
What does this say about the way our lives should look given the grace we have recieved?

Also look at other passages on God's grace and bring your own insight.
Be ready to answer this one question(it should not be hard).
What symbol of God's grace do we have from the Bible?
