Moving From SinTo Holiness
6
We Believe that Sin

• Original
• Personal
• 5. SIN
• 6. Atonement
• 7. Prevenient Grace

7
7. Prevenient Grace

• Grace is Un-merited or Un -Earned Favor.
• Prevenient is an Event of His Favor to show us
  what His favor towards us is by reveling Sin and
  Grace to us.

8
Prevenient Grace

• 7. We believe that the human races creation in
  Godlikeness included ability to choose between
  right and wrong, and that thus human beings were
  made morally responsible that through the fall
  of Adam they became depraved so that they cannot
  now turn and prepare themselves by their own
  natural strength and works to faith and calling
  upon God.

9
Prevenient Grace

• But we also believe that the grace of God through
  Jesus Christ is freely bestowed upon all people,
  enabling all who will to turn from sin to
  righteousness, believe on Jesus Christ for pardon
  and cleansing from sin, and follow good works
  pleasing and acceptable in His sight.

10
Prevenient Grace

• We believe that all persons, though in the
  possession of the experience of regeneration and
  entire sanctification, may fall from grace and
  apostatize and, unless they repent of their sins,
  be hopelessly and eternally lost.

Godlikeness and moral responsibility

• And the Lord God commanded the man, You are free
  to eat from any tree in the garden 17 but you
  must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of
  good and evil, for when you eat from it you will
  certainly die. Genesis 216-17

16

Godlikeness and moral responsibility

• When I consider your heavens,     the work of
  your fingers, the moon and the stars,     which
  you have set in place,4 what is mankind that you
  are mindful of them,    human beings that you
  care for them?
• 5 You have made them a little lower than the
  angels  and crowned them with glory and honor.
• Psalm 83-5

17
Natural inability

• Romans 39-12
• Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power
  of sin. . 
• As it is written
• There is no one righteous, not even
  one11     there is no one who
  understands    there is no one who seeks
  God.12 All have turned away,    they have
  together become worthlessthere is no one who
  does good,    not even one.

18
Free grace and works of Faith

• 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through
  faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the
  gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can
  boast. 10 For we are Gods handiwork, created in
  Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared
  in advance for us to do. Ephesians 28-10

19
Free grace and works of Faith

• Yet to all who did receive him, to those who
  believed in his name, he gave the right to become
  children of God 13 children born not of natural
  descent, nor of human decision or a husbands
  will, but born of God. John 112-13
• Therefore, my brothers and sisters,a make every
  effort to confirm your calling and election. For
  if you do these things, you will never stumble,
  11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the
  eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus
  Christ. 2 Peter 110-11
