Pillars of Grace
We believe God Reveals
We Believe God Creates
We Believe God Redeems
When we accept God's grace and salvation, the Holy Spirit reveals our need for Jesus and recreates us.
The Spirit builds our faith and helps us leave our broken lives behind.
In infinite love and mercy God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might be made the righteousness of God.
Led by the Holy Spirit we sense our need, acknowledge our sinfulness, repent of our transgressions, and exercise faith in Jesus as Saviour and Lord, Substitute and Example.
This saving faith comes through the divine power of the Word and is the gift of God’s grace.
Through Christ we are justified, adopted as God’s sons and daughters, and delivered from the lordship of sin.
Through the Spirit we are born again and sanctified; the Spirit renews our minds, writes God’s law of love in our hearts, and we are given the power to live a holy life.
Abiding in Him we become partakers of the divine nature and have the assurance of salvation now and in the judgment.

Acknowledge
Repent
Experience
Every experience we have leads us into a process.
In our relationship with God this process starts with first Acknowledging He is God and Salvation is only in Him.
Acknowledge
We are told in Isaiah to:
In Acts chapter 4 God tells that this salvation comes:
You see God says In Ezekiel:
He have this knowledge by hearing the Word of God according to
In a night time visit, Nicodemus, Jesus explains what it means to be saved.
In a night time visit, Nicodemus, Jesus explains what this all means through something we all can understand, birth.
Born a second time
You see Nicodemus did not understand.
You see we are all sinners needing that same rebirth.
According to Paul:
Paul goes on to tells us in that:
Faith by hearing
Faith by hearing
No condemnation in Christ
So what do we do now?
We have now had this experience with God that has lead us to either reject Him or Acknowledge Him.
If we acknowledge Him the next part is to Repent.
All have sinned
All have sinned
Repent
I want us to dwell on this passage for just a minute.
This is what is called a conditional statement or an if/then statement.
Our part is to confess and His part is to forgive and cleanse.
A lot of people get stuck right here.
Either they confess expecting God to only forgive then it is our part to cleanse ourself from unrighteousness.
That is not what this passage says.
It is God that does the cleansing.
On the other hand some people believe that their sin is to great to be forgiven so they never get to the cleansing.
Remember what the passage says… If we confess… He is FAITHFUL and JUST.
But even the confessing, which is our part, is not completely our part.
John would later say in his gospel that he would send a helper:
Confess
In Colossians we are told that:
the Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment
Even the act of repentance is something that God does in us.
We are never alone in this process.
Why is that?
Ephesians tells us that:
Ez 33:11
Even repents is the work of God in us
His rich mercy saves us when dead in our trespasses
You see it is important that we repent but even in repentance we are not alone.
It is in that repentance that we truly experience salvation.
Experience
So what is experience so important?
The simple answer is because that is the way God made us.
Just think about your day to day life.
Do you have any experiences?
Of course.
We have experiences every day.
God made us with five senses to experience the world through.
Some are good and others not so good.
The experience of salvation is an important one.
When we experience God through salvation we become children of God.
In Galatians we are told:
Sons of God through faith
In Paul’s letter to the young preacher Titus we explains how we change:
The change from sinner to saved by his works (long)
A few things to notice in this passage.
Paul says that “we ourselves were once...”
He is not condemning others but acknowledging that Christians have a past but notice what it is that changes that.
“the kindness and the love of God our Savior.”
Paul puts it another way in 2 Corinthians:
new creation
We are a NEW creation.
He is repairing the broken relationship we all experience.
Then he makes us ambassadors!
This is all the work of God then he sends us into the world to share with the world even though he knows we are going to mess up.
And in Jeremiah he tells us how he is going to do this.
Jeremiah 31:33
He puts His law on our hearts and minds… then he tells us that he will be our God and we will be His people.
Have you ever felt unloved or unwanted?
God is telling us that he loves us and wants us.
Romans
We will be his people and he our God
When I three months old I was taken away from my parents.
From what I have gathered there was a party at my parents home and one of their friends got drunk and fell on top of me.
I was taken to the hospital.
I was fine but it seems this was enough to deem my parents able to take care of me.
