Keeping the laws
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 10:17 am
Hi,
Yesterday, I read great sermon and wish to share some quotes from it. I find them great.
Grace rescues us and enables us to obey.
-
God’s grace in Christ, when we understand it, makes us so grateful to him that we become zealous for good works.
-
Our gratitude is also empowered by God, because he gives us his Holy Spirit to enable us to devote ourselves to good works. When we see this, then Psalm 119 makes perfect sense to us: The psalmist goes on and on about how much he loves God’s law and how beautiful it is and how he longs to keep every bit of it. This is the heart of someone who has been saved by God’s grace in Christ—someone who wants to thank God forever with a life spent pleasing God.
-
The law is too high for us—we can never keep it. We need a Savior. We need Jesus.
Such a great salvation as this makes us grateful to God—and the law teaches us how to say thanks to him with our whole lives.
