No Distractions: Grace Alone

Ephesians 2:1-10

Pastor Bob Hiller
10/14/2007

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7

I. Grace means that we who deserve God's ________ and ________ because of our wicked, sinful hearts and lives, receive ________ and ________ because of Christ's death in our place.

II. We say we are saved by grace alone, because we can only be saved if God is ________ towards us.

III. Three Distractions from Grace Alone:

- Misunderstanding the depth of our ________.

- Misunderstanding the nature of our ________.

- Misunderstanding the ________ of God's love for us in Christ.

IV. The cross of Jesus ________ these distractions.
