Instead of reading and listening to the WORD
OF GOD.Men look to traditions
of men and the teaching of men and
ignore the message of Peter at Pentecost

SAVED BY GRACE ALONE
Many people todaypreach and teach this.
Salvation is ALL of God and there is NOTHING
man can do to gain HIS salvation

SAVED BY GRACE
ALONEThe problem arises with a miss understanding of
GRACE.So let us examine what
GRACE is and is not.

The GRACE of God is one of the most vital and fundamental and
challenging themes for discussion.
Without it man would be doomed to eternal
hell forever.

But the bible speaks plainly
that our God is a gracious God and a God of amazing Grace
Exodus 22:27; 34:6; Numbers 6:24-26;
Psalm 86:15; 103:8; 111:4; 112:4; 116:5; 145:8;
Isaiah 33:2; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2; 1 Corinthians 1:3-4; Colossians 1:6; 2 Thessalonians
1:12; 1Peters 2:3-5,10;

The actual virtue of Grace is ascribed to every one
of the Godhead1) God Titus 2:11; 2) Christ 2 Corinthians

Most of us feel that we
may understand the subject of Grace. Yet,
when we have to explain what it is, we
might have some difficulty explaining
Grace.
![Page 13: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
GRACE: ITS MEANING IN THE
SCRIPTURESOne problem of misunderstanding the doctrine of Grace is assuming that the word "Grace” possesses
only one meaning. Often, we will learn one definition for a word, then we will assume
that this definition applies wherever that word appears.
This often leads to religious error
![Page 14: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The word for Grace in the Greek is CHARIS.
Thayer, and other Lexicographers usually will present six primary meanings for the word
"charis"
![Page 15: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The word “grace”
The only Greek word translated “grace” in the New Testament is (charis).favour (6) e.g. Luke 1:30
thanks (5) e.g. 2 Corinthians 9:15credit (3) e.g. Luke 6:32
commendable (2) e.g.1 Peter 2:20Gift (2) e.g. Romans 4:4
Translated by 14 other words once, including benefit, blessing, and gracious gift.
![Page 16: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So The word “grace”! It’s helpful to notice
how the word is translated in addition to “grace”, because it
helps us understand the word.
![Page 17: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Depending upon the
context, we can learn the meaning the writer had in mind for the word charis.
A brief examination of SOME of these different meanings will be helpful
in our understanding the doctrine of "Grace."
![Page 18: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Proper Meaning
All words have a proper meaning, or what we know as the common meaning.
This is the way that the word was commonly understood during its time of usage.
Thayer says that this is "that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm,
loveliness” (Thayer, p. 665).
![Page 19: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A good example of the
proper meaning comes from a comment made about the way Jesus spoke. "And all
bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious
words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said,
Is not this Joseph's son?“ (Luke 4:22).
![Page 20: THE IMPORTANCE OF GRACE Part 1. So the importance of Acts chapter 2:38 We need to understand Peter’s response to this question WHAT MUST WE DO?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfba1a28abf838ca09a9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Jesus' words had a sweet, refreshing quality about
them.
This was unusual for someone who was just a
carpenter's son. People delighted in the way Jesus spoke, and the words
that He used.
