  3. God’s will in Christ is to be obeyed. • “For this is the love of God, that we keep His command-ments; and His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3) • “Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me,… For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 1:29, 30)

  7. Faithful obedience is a grateful response to grace. • If we understand grace forgiving men of their enormous spiritual bankruptcy, we ought to be racing to God’s side to do whatever He says to please Him. • Salvation by grace requires Jesus redeeming and purifying sinners (Titus 2:11-15).

  8. Faithful obedience is a grateful response to grace. • A deep appreciation, respect and love for God moves one to carefully maintain God’s prescribed good works. • How can we truly contemplate God’s grace and not do more to abound as a worker for the Lord?
