SALVATION BY GRACE, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Pastor Art Watkins of Coden Bible Church (Coden, Alabama) October 24, 2018 When you consider what God says about the moral condition of all Jews and Gentiles throughout history, the only way possible for them to be saved is by grace in ANY AGE. Romans 3:9-18 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. This is God’s moral indictment of all Jews and gentiles throughout history. After reading this, it is only by grace that God saves any Jew or gentile in any age. There was not a time in history when God began to save men by grace; the only way God can possibly save any sinner in any age is by grace, past, present, or future.
