40: Digging Deeper - Learning to Stand in His Grace

November 22, 2021 • Barrett Bowden • 2 Samuel 22—23

In this episode, we are going to be talking about learning to stand in the grace of God. Once we know God's grace in salvation, how can we learn to stand (or continue) in that same grace of God in daily life? At the end of the book of 2 Samuel (Chapter 22), we are given a long song of King David, as well as a record of some of his last words. At the end of his long life with God and reign as king, David is reflecting over all the ways in which God has been faithful to Him.

At the end of the day, he recognizes that his story is a story of God's redeeming grace. He does not point to his own success, but God's success. He does not in pride say "I have been such a great man" but "God has been such a great Savior." In the passage, David points to God and His grace.

The purpose of this podcast today is help give you some practical ways in which you too can learn to stand in God's grace. David's song & last words reflect the end of a life of learning to stand in God's grace. He did not always do this perfectly. But he has learned. And we can too. In fact, we should. You will be encouraged and challenged by this reflection on 2 Samuel 22, Galatians 3, and some practical ways in which we can continue in the grace of God.
