DISCOVER
The salvation of men is a display of divine grace. It is not accomplished by human works, rather, it is a gift of God that glorifies Himself. The emphasis is always on Christ, the object of our faith, and not on the amount of faith. Salvation is only byGod’s completely unmerited favor.
LEARN
The work of reconciliation is not from yourself and not produced by works, so that no one can boast. When a person put south is hand to take a gift that someone else offers, he or she is doing nothing to merit that gift. The giver gets credit for the gift, not the receiver. Likewise, faith is not a meritorious work.
APPLY
This passage contrasts the believer's state before and after accepting salvation. Because this is a gift from God, we do not need to accomplish good works to merit salvation, but we should do good works because we have received salvation. As believers, we should remember the grace that was afforded to us and give that grace to those around us–especially our family and friends.

About this Plan
Join us as we walk through seven encounters with Jesus. Just as Jesus transformed these individuals, the narratives of your shame, fear, guilt, and failure find redemption when met by the grace bought by His death on the cross. Your response to encountering Jesus has the power to transform the darkness of your story into a picture of grace, and redemption. How will you respond when you encounter Jesus?
