Sinners Need Salvation by the Grace of God

“But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)

Man is a sinner by nature. Only by the grace of God can any person be saved. But someone says, “But, you have no idea how sinful I am or how wicked I have been.” But God reminds us, “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound…” (Romans 5:20)

On the other hand there are those who say they are not bad enough to need the grace of God. In their pride they see no need of salvation, the sufferings of Christ on the cross or His precious blood being shed. “I’m a pretty good fellow,” they say.

But our text says that God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. In the Proverbs there are seven things that are an abomination to God. At the top of the list is, “A proud look.” (Prov. 6:16-17)

You are invited to come humbly before God and receive His grace. You will never be sorry you did.
