Law & Grace
Jeremiah 31:33
June 12, 2005
A continuation of the sermon from this morning - Milk & Meat
Grace - God's Love for Us (Best)
John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 10:1-17; 1 Peter 1:18-20; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:16; 1 John 4:10; Revelation 1:5
The only way anyone has ever been saved is by God's grace. Grace was before the law. God created Adam and Eve and the world for them to live in before he ever gave them a command. God's Love preceded God's Law.
