Six things grace frees us from

By God’s grace…

1. We’re freed from the hopeless necessity of trying to commend ourselves to God by being perfect
2. We are freed from pride – that self-protective, self-righteous attitude
3. We are humbled – constantly – because our lives are all of God, all of grace!
4. We view other people differently – grace is the great leveler! So there’s no difference – we’re all equally loved by God, equally forgiven, equally saved in Jesus.
5. We are freed from sin’s domination (Rom 6:14) – our union with Christ has changed our nature and changed our heart! So we hate sin, we no longer get the pleasure we once experienced from sin – Christ is my Saviour, I love him!
6. We are freed from the bondage of fear (Rom 8:15) – fear of meeting God. Because grace assures me that I’m adopted, beloved, secure, awaiting an inheritance and eternal joy.
