"My Grace Is Sufficient For
Thee"
2 Corinthians 12:9
This promise was made by the Lord to one
of his servants in a time of great need. But it is a promise made to every
believer, for all the promises of God are in Christ and sure to all who trust him
(II Cor.
1. THE
BELIEVING SINNER - Salvation is by grace alone. No matter how numerous your
sins, no matter how great your iniquity, no matter how vile your heart, the
grace of God in Christ is sufficient to save you! Be of good courage. Trust
Christ. And be not afraid. God's grace is greater than your sin.
2. THE YOUNG
CONVERT - Are you a young pilgrim, just delivered from
3. THE
FAITHFUL SERVANT - The more you seek to do for Christ, the more you need his
grace. And the more you need grace, the more God gives grace.
4. THE
TEMPTED BELIEVER - Satan tempts you with every form of subtlety, seeking to
take your heart away from Christ and destroy your soul. But God is faithful. He
will not allow you to be tempted above measure and will with the temptation
make a way to escape. His grace is sufficient for you.
5. THE
SUFFERING SAINT - All God's saints must through much tribulation enter into the
kingdom of heaven. We must go through the furnace of affliction and the waters
of adversity. But his grace is sufficient.
6. THE
FALLEN BELIEVER - Perhaps you have fallen into sin like Peter, or into
indifference like the Laodiceans, or into rebellion like Jonah, and you wonder,
"Will God yet forgive me?" Indeed, he will. His grace is sufficient
for you.
7. THE AGED
SAINT - You may be old and grey, but God will not forsake you. He will never
leave you. And his presence with you means that his grace is sufficient for
you.
8. THE DYING
SAINT - It will be easy for you to die in the company of your risen Savior.
When the dew of death is on your brow,look still to
Christ alone and hear his word of promise - "My grace is sufficient for
thee!"
