Study Notes

There are two important concepts to remember as we run the Race – GRACE and DISCIPLESHIP.

GRACE

We are carrying a message of Grace

It is a privilege for us to know the Gospel of Grace and to share it with others

It is a privilege to work with fellow Christians in a good cause.

Victory is promised through Christ

Martin Luther learned through the Scriptures (not the authority of the church) that:

• Grace is special favor
• Grace is through faith
• Works are the by-product of faith

Timothy was fearful

• It is our fear that keeps us from depending on His grace

Grow in grace

DISCIPLESHIP

Four Generations

We are always just one generation from extinction

Now you are my disciples

So keep on OBEYING and KEEP on KEEPING ON!

D.L. Moody “This Book will keep you from the world or the world will keep you from this Book”
