Sermon Overview
Reidhead clarifies that "Grace" is not just a pardon; it is a "Teacher." He explores the three lessons Grace teaches: 1. Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, 2. Living soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age, and 3. Looking for the "Blessed Hope." He argues that any "grace" that doesn't teach holiness is not the Grace of God.
Key Principles
Pedagogy of Grace:Treat Grace as a "Schoolmaster" that is currently and actively teaching you how to live.
Negative Lesson:Practice the "Decisive No" to ungodliness and worldly lusts as a daily exercise of your will.
Positive Lesson:Commit to living "soberly and righteously" in this present age, regardless of the cultural climate.
Prophetic Lesson: Use the "Blessed Hope" (the Return) as the lens through which you view every earthly decision.
Grace as Empowerment:Reach for Grace as "Empowerment" for duty, not just "Exemption" from punishment.
Purifying Effect: Look for a "Purifying Effect" in your lifestyle as the proof that you are under Grace.
Peculiar People:Embrace being a "Peculiar Person"—God’s own, distinct, and set-apart possession.
Training the Will: Allow Grace to "Train" your will to choose obedience over natural impulse.
