SAVED BY GRACE
Ephesians 2:8-10, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and than not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
SALVATION IS BY THE WORK OF GRACE THRU FAITH, IT IS FREELY
GIVEN FOR AN EXPENSIVE PRICE OUR SAVIOUR PAID IN FULL OUR SALVATION.

2. We need to forget all past grief II Sam. 12:15-23 - David didn't dwell on his grief.A-we can never go back and undo what has been done, but we sure can press toward the mark of the high calling of God.
3. We need to forget all past grudges Eph. 4:31-32 - forgive one anotherA-if we hide sin in our hearts God will not hear us,for one not to forgive is sin.
4. We need to forget all past glories Job 29:1-25 -30:1 - Job's past victories couldn't help him in the presentA-to many saints are living on leftovers from days gone by,God has fresh stuff for us now if we will receive it.
