2 Corinthians 8:7 (ESV)
7 But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also.

1 Peter 4:10
10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (ESV)
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

Extreme Faith (Part 8)

God calls us to live and an Extreme life of FAITH. The key word for our next extreme is found in the Bible over 130 times. For the most part, when we think of Grace, we think of it as it applies to God’s Grace (His unmerited favor).

But the more we understand God’s grace towards us, the more we come to realize that God calls us to give that grace to others as a part of an extreme life of faith.

Key Texts: 2 Corinthians 8:7; 1 Peter 4:10; 2 Corinthians 9:8

God never intended for His grace to stop with us; but rather that we would use the example of His grace, given to us to, and the power of His grace, working in us, to live a life of Extreme Grace towards others.

EXTREME GRACE…
1. Bestows Favor, Blessing, Love, thoughtfulness and Goodwill
2. Is given as a Gift
3. Is Unmerited, Unearned and Underserved
4. Is Sufficient
5. Maintains a soft tongue and an even softer heart
6. Requires extreme Love and Forgiveness
