Passionate Amazing Grace Revelation 2:1-10
Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him! NKJV
he had embraced the truth of the Gospels and the power of their Savior to rescue him from the hell he had fashioned of his own life. -Captured by Grace, Dr. David Jeremiah, p.103
Romans 10:910 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." NASB
Revelation 2:12 Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand and who walks among the seven gold lampstands says: I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars. HCSB
Revelation 2:3 You also possess endurance and have tolerated many things because of My name and have not grown weary. HCSB
Revelation 2:45 But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent. HCSB
Revelation 2:67 Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give the victor the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in God s paradise. HCSB
Romans 10:13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. HCSB
John 3:2021 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God. ESV
John 14:12 I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father." HCSB
John 14:21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. ESV
CHEAP GRACE IS THE mortal enemy of our church. Our struggle today is for costly grace. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
Costly grace is held onto by holding onto our first love, Jesus, and doing the work He has instructed us to do Love God, Love People, and Love Well.
Jesus gave His life to do His Fathers will and work, with proclamation of who He was and His love for His Father and the world. (Romans 10:14-17).
God always pours His grace into empty hands. -Captured by Grace, Dr. David Jeremiah, p.17
God always pours His costly grace into empty hands, with an expectation of love in return. -underlined italics mine
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God s glory in the face of Jesus Christ. HCSB
Sermon in a Sentence Grace is made cheap when we do not respond with the same love and passion of Christ. Grace is costly because it costs us to love well and love freely.
