God's People Are to Grow in Grace
(2 Timothy 2:1)

​Introduction:

         1. Today's lessons are designed to help us grow in grace and in knowledge as we are instructed in
             2 Peter 3:18.
         2. This morning we showed from the Scriptures how "God's people are to grow in knowledge."
         3. This evening we are basing our study on Paul's appeal in 2 Timothy 2:1 -- "God's people are to grow
             in grace."
         4. In our lesson we are considering 5 warnings as well as 5 positive admonitions that relate to grace.

Discussion:

I.           LET  US  CONSIDER  5  WARNINGS  THAT  INVOLVE  GRACE

         A. We are warned against thinking that God's grace gives us a license to sin (Romans 6:1-2, 14-15).
         B. We are warned against receiving God's grace in vain (2 Corinthians 6:1).
         C. We are warned against frustrating God's grace (Galatians 2:21).
         D. We are warned against falling from God's grace (Galatians 5:4).
         E. We are warned against turning God's grace into lasciviousness (Jude 4).

II.          LET  US  CONSIDER  5  POSITIVE  ADMONITIONS  THAT  INVOLVE  GRACE

         A. We are to allow God's grace to be seen (Acts 11:22-23).
         B. We are to "continue in the grace of God" (Acts 13:43).
         C. We are to include grace in our speech (Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 4:6).
         D. We are to have grace in our hearts as we sing (Colossians 3:16).
         E. We are to approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16).

Conclusion:

         1. According to Hebrews 13:9, a heart established with grace is a good thing.
         2. Let us heed these warnings and practice these admonitions to the best of our ability.
