Welcome to the InTouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, March 28.

Any discussion of the character of God would be incomplete without a good grasp of his grace.

Let's start with an understanding about the crucial part that the grace of God plays in our salvation.

I want you to get out of pencil and piece of paper, and I want you to get the definition of grace.

There is no such thing as an adequate definition.

The only definition you and I can give for grace will always be a very limited definition.

But I like to think of grace in this way.

The grace of God is the undeserved, unconditional, unlimited favor of God.

The grace of God is the undeserved, unconditional, unlimited favor of God.

Now, I want you to think about those three words for a moment.

The fact that it is undeserved, you and I will never be able to do anything to merit it.

That it is unconditional love, something that most of us do not understand.

Love that is not conditioned by anything that we do or fail to do.

Unlimited, it has no circumference, it has no radius, no diameter, it has no measurement, no limitation, no boundary line.

It is the infinite favor of God which has been bestowed toward all men.

And this morning I want us to look at this matter, the grace of God is relates to our salvation.

And I want you who are Christians to stop for just a moment and do not take for granted that because you are saved and because you are eternally secure,

that you possibly may not need what I am going to say.

In these first three verses of Ephesians chapter 2, he reminds us here Paul does of our need of God's grace.

What we said was, it is his undeserved, his unconditional.

He is unlimited, favorite orders. He says in verse 1, describing our past life, and you have he quickened once and for all, once single divana,

once in the past has he made alive you who were dead in trespasses and sins.
