Welcome to the InDutch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Wednesday, March 29.

God's expression of grace doesn't stop at the moment of salvation.

It's available to believers every single day.

Here's more on the character of God.

Now you recall we define the grace of God as the undeserved,

unconditional and unlimited favor and goodness of God toward us.

That all salvation is by the grace of God and that that grace is appropriated by faith.

And that every single person is saved by the same grace.

Now listen, it takes just as much grace who sustain you 20 years after you were saved

as it did to save you the day you came to no Christ to save you.

I don't know where we got this idea that you're saved by grace and you suddenly of by works.

All of us are surrounded by this boundless grace, this unmerited, undeserved, unconditional favor and love and goodness of God.

That does not change according to how good I am or how bad, whatever my attitude may be,

the grace of God is unchanging, irrevocable, everlasting and unending.

Now we live in that.

Now listen, in a spiritual true that is apprehended or comprehended only from the neck up is not sufficient.

It is only when it gets in my heart and down in the soul and the real being of a person

where it is applied to the human life does it become of any value to us.

We know it's sufficient for salvation.

We know we can't save ourselves, but listen, did you know you can't live yourself either?

You are not sufficient in yourself to meet the common ordinary problems and heartaches and burdens and decisions and situations and circumstances that make up your environment.

And Paul in this 12th chapter is giving us a beautiful pattern of understanding about the grace of God.
