LABORING UNDER GOD'S GRACE
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In this class, Tim Lewis explores how God's grace is central to salvation and transformation, emphasizing that every member of the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) participates in redeeming humanity through grace. He highlights the universality of grace, noting that both Jews and Gentiles are saved by grace alone, not through works or rituals like circumcision. Key biblical references such as Acts 15:11 and Ephesians 2:4-5 were examined, illustrating that salvation is a gift from God, made possible by His mercy and love. Lewis also discusses the transformative power of grace, explaining that believers are 'God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works' (Ephesians 2:10). The lesson encourages ministers and Christians to labor under God's grace, trusting in His infinite supply of mercy and strength to serve and reach others.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
