LESSONS FROM
THE BIBLE
BY ROGER TURNER
"For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that
not of yourselves: It Is the gift of God: Not of works,
lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).
‘‘f or the grace of God that bringeth salvation
hath appeared to all men” (Titus 2:11). Thus, in
these two passages we are plainly taught that
man is saved by the grace of God. But, not by
the grace of God ONLY. No where does the New
Testament teach that salvation is wholly of grace.
In spite of this 1 read in a prominent denomina-
tional manual on page 61, "We believe the Scrip-
tures teach that the salvation of sinners is whol-
ly of grace." The word "wholly” means, "Com-
pletely: totally. Exclusively: only.”
It is not my desire to try to limit God’s grace,
because that cannot be done. My point is to get
us to understand more fully that many things
enter into our salvation, and not just one thing
suph as grace, faith, or any other single item or
action. I find in the New Testament at least twen-
ty-nine things by which we are to be saved. Who
has the right to exclude any of them? It is by God’s
grace that He gave His Son. By His grace He
gave us the Bible. And on and on we could go
naming the many blessings He has given that
will enable us to be saved IF WE TAKE AD-
VANTAGE OF THEM.
If man is saved "wholly of grace” then why will not
ALL men be saved since "the grace of God that
bringeth salvation hath appeared unto ALL men"? The
truth of the matter is this: the grace of God has
appeared unto all men. It is here for man to take
advantage of, but the majority of people are going to
be lost in hell because they will not accept, or avail,
themselves of His grace. Peter wrote, "Save your-
selves from this crooked generation" (Acts 2:40). So,
mankind has a responsibility to accept the gift
of God’s grace before it will save him. If I re-
fuse to accept His gift by rebelling against His
will then salvation will- NOT be mine.
Jesus taught in John 14:15, "If ye love me, keep my
commandments.” His commandments are many and
they “are not grievous.” He has commanded us
to believe in Him and God,The Father (John 8:24; He-
brews 11:6). He has commanded us to repent of our
sins (Luke 13:3: Acts 2:38). He has dommanded
us to confess our faith before men (Matthew 10:
32,33: Romans 10:9,10). And, He has commanded us to
be baptized to have past sins washed away and to be
added to His church that He will someday return
and save (Acts 2:38-47: 22:16: Ephesians 5:23).
These steps are all necessary to become a Christian
because God in His grace has commanded them through
His Son and the inspired writers of the New Testa-
ments. Then God has commanded that we remain
“faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown
of life” (Revelation 2:10).
Please come to the church of Christ in Crosbyton
where all of God’s grace is taught and practiced.
You are most welcome at any of our services.
