In defense of the gospel of grace:

1. Examine your Experience (v. 1-5)
Have you Experienced:
A. The Cross of Christ?
B. The Power of the Holy Spirit?
C. The Pain of Gospel Suffering?
D. The Love of the Father?

2. Examine the Evidence (v. 6-9)
A. Abraham - the man of faith
B. Sons of Abraham - Everyone who belongs to Christ belongs in His family of faith.

How can a person belong in this family?

Is it by faith or by works? (Titus 3:4-7; James. 2:10))

We are all invited but we must be adopted (Galatians 4:4-7; Romans 5:8)

The Gift has been given but it must be received (John 3:16; Jn. 1:12-13)
