And this night, the Lord moved my heart to talk about your grace, His grace, the grace of God. And look with me and your Bibles and Revelation 22, verse 21. Maybe don't, you can lose in the Bible. It's the last verse. Yeah? All his work finish with this verse, this phrase. And the Bible say, Revelation 22. Verse 21, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. I am convinced if we don't have a grace of Lord, without His grace, we can do anything. Don't do it, anything. Our lives is for His grace. Our jobs is for His grace. And this message God tell me, when I was in America, remembering in a trip, driving in the road, and talk with God, and he tell me, you need You need to preach about my grace. And then this is day. This is day. Let me pray, please. Let me pray. Stand up, please. Stand up. You're moving your blood. Don't sleep. It's the beginning of a new year. Repeat with me this verse, Revelation chapter 22, verse 21. All the people, one, two, three. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Let's pray. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for your word. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the brother and sister come to your house and open all heart, open my mind, And I can be blessed, my brothers and sisters. And please talk to us, because we need you. We love you, Lord. And thank you for your grace. Thank you for His grace. Thank you for this day, the first day about service in this church this year. And thank you for the salvation. Thank you for your mercy. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. Sit down, please. If we look in our Bibles, this verse or phrase is repeated directly or indirectly in some books more than 40 times. And only the word grace is repeated about 117 times in the Bible, of which 128 in the New Testament, the word grace. But to be able to understand, I am convinced by this, but to be able to understand the grace of God, we, you and me, must first understand what our condition is. That is how we are before God. Or we are you and I before the Lord. The Bible. Not my ideas, not my imagination. Look the Bible. The Bible says that we are like worms. Job 25 verse six. Our justice are like rocks of filth, Isaiah 64, verse six. Our lives is like the fog, James chapter four, verse 14. Our flesh like grass dries up and our glories like flowers that weather drive up and fall. 1 Peter 1, chapter 1, verse 24. So this is why it says it's clearly Job say, and say, naked come I of my mother's womb, and naked Shall I return thither? Job, chapter one, verse 21. In other verse in Bible say, there is not even one just. Romans 3, 10, yeah? We have all sinners and are destituted from the glory of God in Romans 3, verse 23. Yeah? So once we know and understand correctly and being convinced that the pay for all things is that, And the second that, as it says in Revelation 21 verse eight, only thing can we understand what it is, what it means, and the price of God's grace. But if you don't understand this, The grace is other world in the book. Other world in your life. You need to be convincing that this grace have a price. A price of blood. You remember, this grace You need to remember the cross. The cross, Calvary, in Calvary. So, today I talk about this grace. It is an undeserved gift. The grace? Giving us, God, what we don't deserve. You and me don't deserve. It's a gift. Luke 23 verse 41, and we ended just before we received the due reward of our deeds. In Romans chapter 5 verse 8, but God commended his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners. Remember, you and me, yet sinners. Christ died for us. Romans chapter five, verse eight. Because it is an undeserved gift. God show us that great love that he has for the whole world. Now, examine yourself. examine yourself, you make a test yourself, and ask yourself what your actions deserve. And not only that, but also what you should have done and didn't. Not all for you can do if you can do it. Also, you can done didn't. Many times I see everything that God has provided for us. I can see. everything we have, and he conquered that I do not deserve it. It is not luck. It is not because of my effort, my force, my song. No, it is his grace. I can look at my wife, my children, the church, the family in Christ, or home. I don't deserve it. But they are there by His grace. When we began the deputation to the church, My pastor told me, don't fear seek to find grace in front of the people of our church. Fear seek to find grace before God, and he will give grace before me. The grace is an undeserved gift. Second point is, the grace is for salvation. Ephesians 2, verse 8, for by grace are ye saved through faith. Know yourselves, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God for salvation. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath a power to all men. Titus 2, verse 11. It is 4.16, let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. It is the saving grace that frees us from second death. It is the saving grace that frees us from eternal fire, from condemnation, in a place of suffering, where the flames don't know God out, where the warm never die, the place of crying and gnashing of teeth. You can imagine a place where you wake up with pain. You lie with pain. You sleep with pain. Everything is pain and suffering for eternity. This grace saves the sinner from eternal condemnation. The problem is that when we say, save the sinner, people look at others, but not at themselves. When the problems, when you can hear about problems, maybe all times the people thinks, ah, this problem is It's not mine. It's not mine. But when you stay in this problem, it's other vision. And this brings me to the next point. Grace justifies us. This grace justifies us. And Romans chapter three, verse 24, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. But sadly, we think that all self-justification is a no. or good deeds, or good morals, or good wishes. They just try to hide all selfishness, or bad thoughts, or pride, or arrogance, or worries, always seeking to place ourselves and not God. This is why we know how fast and like gospels accommodating the Bible to our way of living and not our way of living to the Bible. We must submit to the word of God, not the Bible to my life, my life to the Bible. It's not idea from pastor. It's not idea from church. It's the Bible, my book for my life. This is why the grace of God is the only one that justifies us gratuitously before all that we deserve. It is this grace that presents us clean and pure without spit before God. His grace. His grace is for protection. Romans chapter 6 verse 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you. For ye are not under the law, but under grace. This grace of God will rumble in your mind and your heart when the temptation of sin cometh. And it screams to your conscience, do not do it. This doesn't please God. His grace talking to you. Or if it was late and you did not listen to him because you decide to lower the volume of the voice of the Holy Spirit, His grace, He will be remembering you and saying, what you did does it no place God. Ask for forgiveness and repent. If you stay full in this grace, you will always be attentive to sin and not to fall into its traps. Like, throw the Bible. Like I can fall above his grace. Look the Bible, reading. praying, fasting. Come on, the church. We need be edification. Yeah? And you don't to be edification. in the park, in the bar, with friends, no. Maybe with your friends, yes, but about when you talk about the God. You and me need his grace. It's a protect. It will protect you from bad decision, bad consequence, bad reputation, bad testimony, accidents, disgrace, painful situations for you and your family. The Bible says how beautiful it is to live the brothers together in harmony. I don't know if you remember, but I remember. These holidays, these holidays, when we were in the war, how they ended? Drunk, vomited, and fight, in fight, without money, sick, in debt, missing. But now, by this grace, we can gather as brothers in Christ and share a good meal, yeah? Have a good time, all in the same feeling, in the same spirit, being built. Thank you, Lord, for His grace. In this end year, we have a good time. I remember the family in America, but you're feeling, you feel all hearts in here. For my family, for my children, I love in here. It's for His grace. His grace is abundant. John 1 verse 16, and of his fullness have all we reside on grace for grace. Wow. I don't know if you think the same as me, but I have been able to see time after time how the Lord has taken care of us. Time after time, how he has sustained us. Time after time, we have not lacking food, clothing, a place to lie down. Time after time. Now, Hermione could say this, but the brother is giving the church and tell you no. It is God working in the hearts of people and in circumstance and situation to give for His work and His workers. Others people may say, that's easy. So I tell you to leave everything and come, join. If you imagine this is easy, come on. As if that were not enough, since the day I decided to accept him as my only and sufficient savior, Every day he gives me that security that the day I die, I will go to heaven with him. And it doesn't end there because this gift is not only for me. It is there available to all humanity. to believe. They just need to believe. Follow. The grace, it's sufficient. Second Corinthians 12 verse 9, and he said unto me, Paul talking, No, no Paul. Paul. But you, you too. My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Wow, the power of God in me, in you. It's incredible. There is nothing else. There is not other gospel. There is nothing that God forgot and lacks. The Bible says that neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. The name of Jesus. Tomorrow, this message. The Bible says that this grace cleanses us of all sin, past, present, and future. There is no other way. It is the truth. It is the life. And as children of God, you and me, once we accept him, despite our weaknesses, we experience the power of God in our lives. No, brother, it is not lucky that you have held it or that you have been able to endure some pain. or some affliction or that you have been able to make good decision and that the business has gone well for you. It is the grace of God in you. For you have a good decision. In your work, in your home, in your life. With your children, with your wife, with your husband. It's only His grace. The grace, it's powerful. Romans 6, 23, for the ways of sins is that, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Powerful because it resurrects the dead. Yeah? You can see other resurrect? No, only Jesus. Powerful because it, it grace change lives, transform homes. Powerful because it changed the destiny of those who believe. First to hell, now to heaven. Powerful because it gives life and life in abundance, John 10, 10. Eternal life. So many things in this world can say that they have power, but that they are temporary. They can only satisfy for a moment money, social status, race or skin color, political or religious positions, but even all this is given or allowed by God. All. The grace of God is powerful because it is eternal and it comes from him. That is why the Lord Jesus Christ warned us and tell us, but seek your fears, the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. In Matthew 6, verse 33, even in church where false doctrines are preached, they seek this earthly power for bias and confusion of believers. Look at what Jesus says about it in Luke 10, verse 20. Not when standing in this rejoice, not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are writing in heaven. This is important, the salvation. The grace of God, this is the truly powerful one. And the last point, the grace, it is to be shared. The Lord Jesus Christ said to us, Matthew 10, verse 8, Matthew 10, verse 8. held the sick, cleansed the lepers, raised the dead, cast out devils. Freely ye have received, freely give. Don't stay with it for yourself. Let's not be selfish. Let's not be indifferent. Let's not be insensitive. Let's not be forgetful. Remember, brother and sister, one day we were lost, you and me, aimless, condemned, and in the mood Dirty with all sins, tired and dejected, without hope. Glory to God that that grace come to our life and rescued us, cleansed us. And now we are accepted before God in heaven. Remember that thanks, thanks to a brother or sister who shared that grace with us. Thanks to a brochure Thanks to a bus route in which we could get to the church. A special day to which I was invited. A little Bible school in the park. Someone who told me about Chris, we were able to know his grace and accept him. as all only and sufficient Savior. That is why every investment that is made in the Word of God is not in vain. Even in all, all lives, all lives, your lives can live. No, pastor, no, preacher, I am older. Remember Abraham? Whole years, whole years, Abraham, when the God call for Canaan. Seven, five years. And I can see you don't have, You don't have seven, five years yet. And then God make amazing in your life. God make something amazing in your life. Only you need pay attention and you will, and his grace. Everything will have been worth it because it is an eternal work. It is a work of grace. And we could continue talking about the grace of God and we will not end. I hope. And seriously, I hope this time may God help us understand His grace.
