This is an amazingly interesting series, from which I must extricate a few gems that speak to particular things. Through this sermon, I wish for people to understand something that makes for much contention for some: the difference between grace and GRACE!
5 And
God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil
continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth,
and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord
said, I will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the
earth;
both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the
air;
for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah:
Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations,
and Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:5-9 (King James Bible)
One
often gets the argument from those who are not dispensationalists that
God has provided Grace throughout the ages. As Pastor Bruscha explains:
"There is grace in every dispensation because of the character of God: he is a gracious God!
"But there is a difference between grace IN a dispensation and the DISPENSATION OF Grace!"
In Noah's day to whom was God gracious?
Noah and 7 others in his family!!
Today, in His Grace, He is offering ALL OF MANKIND the bounty of His grace!
This is a marvelously concise explanation,
the very best example
for the differentiation to be made!
the very best example
for the differentiation to be made!
"Soteriology" is a series that will
cover Salvation through the Bible starting in Genesis and going all the
way to the end of Revelations. This series ran from September 2007 to
September 2009 and consists of about 100 sermons. You don't have to
listen to these messages in any particular order; but it is recommended
you start from the beginning as these messages have a continuing flow to
them. Please feel free to leave comments or send me an email
