Standing In Grace (3 of 4)
Series: Snapshots of God's Grace
William Wyne
Romans 5:2
Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power].
For the past two Sundays, I have plowed through this theme of Snapshots of God's Grace. I begin the journey preaching about grace out of Genesis 3 and 21. The first snapshot of grace that I aimed to target was grace by surprise.

And then on last Sunday, I aimed at another snapshot of God's grace. Second Corinthians chapter 12 verses eight through 10 we saw the sufficiency of God's grace. In God's sufficient grace, it is not just adequate grace, it is grace that is beyond all that you would ever need. We saw on last Sunday how God could give sufficient grace that could do more and would do more than Paul was even asking for.
May I say to you today, you are living on sufficient grace. Now in the biblical term, that is not grace enough to get you by, that is grace that is exceedingly, abundantly, above everything, and anything, there you could think or ask.
Now today, if you would indulge me for these few fleeting moments, I want to share with you a third snapshot of this grace that we have. Remember in snapshot one it was ''the surprise of grace, and in snapshot two it was the sufficiency of grace.
Now today in snapshot 3, it is our standing in grace.
