You cannot “out-sin” God's grace in your life.

God's work of grace begins at salvation.

How to get out of the mess

1. Accept God's grace (6-9)

God forgives us in spite of the fact that we don't deserve it.

Justified= “just as if I'd” never sinned.

When we've sinned in our Christian lives, accepting God's forgiveness sometimes becomes more difficult.

2. Celebrate God's grace -“rejoice” (vs. 2 and 11)

It may be because life is a mess that you come to understand how much God has done for you.

Just because you ruined yesterday doesn't mean that you have to have a miserable tomorrow.

3. Use God's grace (1, 3)

Perseverance teaches you- I can overcome anything through God's grace.
Character teaches you- through His grace, I can become the kind of person who doesn't make such foolish
mistakes.
Hope teaches you- through His grace, He's making me into a new person.

vs. 5- “Hope does not disappoint”
