The Marks of Grace (Page 2)

A Balanced Christian Life

Ephesians 4:17-32 This evening, we see one more way grace transforms the life of believers into the likeness of Christ: by producing in them a balanced holiness, a symmetrical spirituality.

A Tender Heart

Isaiah 66:2 In this message, we continue our consideration of the genuine marks of grace, the righteous affections that are only produced in a true believer by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 18:21-35 This evening we continue to examine the marks of grace by considering the three remaining Christ-like attributes that spiritual knowledge will produce in our souls if we are true children of God: forgiveness, love and mercy.

Transformed Into Christ’s Image

Romans 8:26-30 We have seen that there will be a transformation in the true believer, wrought by the Holy Spirit and resulting in Christlikeness of character. We go on to see what it means to be conformed to Christ’s image.

1 Corinthians 2:14-15 We have examined several fruits in the life that people may point to as evidence that they are true believers, but that can be counterfeited by Satan to deceive souls into destruction.

Not All Affections Are Gracious, Part 5

2 Peter 1:5-11 We establish from Scripture that believers can and should enjoy an assurance of their salvation – indeed, they are commanded to make their calling and election sure. This understanding runs counter to the teaching of certain churches.
