Multiplied Grace

2nd Peter 1:1-4

October 7, 2018 • Pastor Mark Mincy

1. δωρέομαι dōréomai, do-reh'-om-ahee;
To bestow gratuitously. To give.
2. χάρις cháris, khar'-ece;
Graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal,
figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and
its reflection in the life; including gratitude); acceptable, benefit, favor, gift,
grace, gracious, joy, liberality, pleasure, thanks, thankworthy.

His divine power has GRANTED to us:
- All things that pertain to life and Godliness,
- Through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and
excellence,
- By which He has GRANTED to us His precious and very great
promises,
- So that through them you may become partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world
because of sinful desire.

Divine Grace and Human Helplessness
- Apart from God's grace, we are helpless in the most mundane earthly
matters (Mark 4:26-28; Mark 6:34, 41).
- Apart from God's grace, we are helpless on the battlefield of spiritual
warfare (Mark 5:3-5).
- Apart from God's grace, we are helpless in dealing with sickness and
disease (Mark 5:25-27).
- Apart from God's grace, we are helpless to meet the spiritual needs of
others (Mark 9:20-27).

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.

The Enticement of Man's Applause Versus The Enjoyment of God's Approval "We must picture hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives with the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment." - C.S. Lewis "in a world dominated by the image instead of the word, interior life gives way to exterior show. Substance gives way to simulation." - Rushkoff 1. Faith 2. Virtue 3. Knowledge 4.
