• Grace Cannot Be Mixed with Anything — Expressly Works or Merit
  • If there is a mix — there is no more grace
  • If there is merit — works, deserving — there is no grace
• Works Cannot Be Mixed with Grace
  • If grace is introduced alongside works then there is no more works
  • If there is any undeserving favor given then there is no more works
• We Are Chosen by Pure Grace
  • The remnant of Jew and Gentiles — Rom 11:5
  • Election is by grace only — Rom 9:11
  • Predestined election prohibits any works
    • Each elect person occupies a place in the whole Church
    • The Church must be complete
  • The implications
    • Man has nothing to do with election unto salvation
    • Works have nothing to do with salvation by grace
• We Are Saved by Grace
  • The entire salvation package is by pure grace
    • Regeneration is the gracious act of God
    • Faith is the gift of God's grace
      • Salvation does not come from our decision — repentance — faith
      • The cross is not made effective because we are willing to accept salvation
    • The cross of Christ must be applied to us by grace
      • The dead must be raised to life
      • The enslaved sinner must be set free
• Preserved by Grace
  • Grace maintains the initial gift of faith
  • Grace triumphs in the purpose of making us holy
