This sermon is part of a series called: Amazing Grace
This is one of the most exciting verses in the Bible, and at the same time the most mysterious. It's exciting because Paul point's out in Romans that being good enough or trying to live by The Law cannot save us, because no one can be perfect. We all fall short of God's standard. The Good News is Jesus did everything possible to save us from our sins. When we commit our life to Him, God forgives our sins by His grace--a free gift. Isn't that amazing?
Yet, doesn't it seem impossible for us to believe God would do such a thing? This is where the mystery part comes in. Maybe you asked yourself this question: Why would God forgive me for all that I've done? How can He simply give me grace? It's hard to understand, isn't it.
That's why we are starting a new series on God's Amazing Grace that will go on for the rest of the summer. We will look at many different aspects of grace so we can understand and appreciate this beautiful gift God gives to those who place their faith in Jesus.
