God’s Grace in Salvation and God’s Grace in Sanctification:

God’s Grace in Salvation and God’s Grace in Sanctification:


Be on guard to not turn the Grace of God into self-centered achievements and the efforts of your own merits. To remember the Grace of God in Salvation and then forget the Grace of God in Sanctification, will cause one to turn the Grace of God into ones own self achieving merits and works righteousness.



In your Sanctification, you must remember the Grace and mercy of God to rely on God’s grace to daily change you in the strength and power of the Resurrection of Christ. Not in your own means, merits and efforts, but a total reliance on the Spirit of Christ for Strength.



Ephesians 2:8-10

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
