The grace of god

This is a sermon I wrote last year. I don't see the grace of God as simply a ticket to heaven or pass for our sins. Yes, it's relieved our fears, but also teaches our hearts to fear Him. I dare not let His grace go in vain (as Paul said) or miss the grace of God (as the writer of Hebrews said). At the same time, I know that if I do fail, then God gives us even more grace so that we can repent (as James said). The key is to truly humble ourselves before Him (as both James and Paul said). This is what I mean when I talk about the grace of God.
