Bible Study Notes: 02/10/12

"Grace is God's Fuel for Me"
Fuel: motivation—proactivity, taking initiative; relationships—to understand others, synergy (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts)
Ephesians 2:4-7
*God's grace will resurrect my life (v. 5)
2 Corinthians 8:9—He became poor so we could become rich
*God's grace allows me to accomplish what I can't do on my own.
Ephesians 2:8-10—..saved by grace through faith, not by works
James 2:17—our works are an outward expression of an internal reality
Mercy vs. Grace: 
mercy: withholds (hold sback)
grace: withholds and then blesses (gift)
Colossians 1:28-29—For this I told and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me.
1 Peter 4:11—Speak as you're speaking the words of God and Serve with the strength god supplies in order to bring Glory to Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 4:6—Gospel preached to dead that they might live in the Spirit as God does.

**HEY!! God is calling you to get back into the Word. Get hungry, stay hungry. Get your MIND off the MEN.**
