Sermon notes

Titus 3:3-8

Salvation is by grace through faith not by law through works.

Law operates on the principle of works.

Grace operates according to the principle of faith.

Romans 9:30-32

The earner mentality is embedded in our flesh.

“No matter the distance from a point of conversion or the amount of knowledge they possess, it takes a lifetime to eradicate that earner mentality. Roy Moran

You have to choose between law and grace as a system of salvation.

You can’t earn salvation but by all means don’t waste it.

Titus 3:5-8

Those of you who have trusted in God are now heirs of God.
