Sermon Overview
Reidhead challenges the "minimum" view of grace that only seeks to escape hell. He argues that the "Full Potential of Grace" is the empowerment to live a holy life, to suffer for Christ with joy, and to fulfill the Great Commission. He describes grace as the "Divine Enablement" that bridges the gap between human inability and God's holy requirements.
Key Principles
God's Riches: View grace as the "full bank account" of Christ made available for your every spiritual need.
Enabling Power: Look to grace for the "power to do" God’s will, not just for the "pardon for failing" it.
Sufficient Grace: Trust that God's grace is "enough" for any physical or emotional trial you currently face.
Grace Teaches: Allow grace to act as a "tutor" that instructs you in how to say "no" to worldly lusts.
Accessing the Throne:Go boldly and frequently to the "Throne of Grace" to find help for your specific, current infirmity.
Relationship to Spirit:View the Holy Spirit as the "administrator" who makes the riches of grace a reality in your life.
Gracious Obedience:Transition from "fearing the Law" to "loving the Lord" as the primary reason for your obedience.
Praise of His Glory:Make the exaltation of God's character the final goal of every victory you achieve through grace.
