THE GRACE OF GOD

 2 KINGS 4

Pastor Rick Jackson

It doesn’t matter when [in the history of this old world], it doesn’t matter where, and it doesn’t matter who; when God works in the life of any person – GRACE is involved. Just how is grace involved can be done in a myriad of ways – but when God deals with an individual, mark it down in red, underline it in black – GRACE is involved. 2 Kings 4 is but one of many examples of this found in Holy Writ.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

3. God’s Word is Glorified [v. 44]
