We grow in grace, we do not grow into grace
Grace = God does for me
To grow in grace = “I need God to do more for me”
Truth points out my lack, inadequacies, weaknesses and failures
Truth = the law
Truth exposes the lack but grace replenishes the lack
We need to know God not only as the truth but also as the grace
Grace only works when you decide to glorify in your own weakness
We fall when we do not appreciate what grace can do in the place of truth
Satan will show the truth, justify it by doctrine but lacks the grace to make the truth work
In Christ, the truth (the law) is fulfilled so now we walk by grace
Following grace = acknowledge your inadequacies, stop trying to stop but rather ask Christ to come in now
In the spirit dwells anointing
In the soul dwells energy
In the body dwells strength
We should be beggarly in prayer and attitude as we recognise our helplessness without God
God’s way of deliverance is to wait until you’re too weak and give up then He takes over
