Praise God for the Gospel of Grace

(Acts 20:24 NKJV) But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

By grace:

• We have been called—2 Tim 1:9
• We believe—Acts 18:27; 1 Tim 1:14
• We have been justified – Eph 2:8; Rom 3:24; Tts 3:7
• We are forgiven—Eph 1:7
• We will be glorified—Act 15:11; Rom 5:9-10
• We are saved—Eph 2:8-9; Act 15:11
• We do good works—2 Cor 9:8; Eph 2:10
• We bear affliction—2 Cor 12:9
• We can work harder than we otherwise could—1 Cor 15:10
