“For this is how God loved the world: He gave  his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.“

John 3:16

Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!”

John 4:39

• Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God.
• God’s grace is a beautiful expression of His faithful love that pulls us from the death of sin, into the good gifts that we do not deserve.
• Scripture displays God’s grace over and over again from Genesis to Revelation.
• God’s redeeming grace saves believers from eternal death.
• God’s common grace is given to all people as He sustains the earth and restrains evil.

• The gospel tells of God’s abounding grace coming to undeserved sinners..not because of their righteous…but because God chose to offer salvation.
• Scripture records the conversations between Jesus and Nicodemus, and Jesus and the Samaritan Woman/Woman at the Well.
• Both conversations are about grace.
• Nicodemus comes at night to avoid being seen.
• The woman at the well comes at noon to avoid being seen.
• Nicodemus learns of eternal life, and that he must be born again.
• The woman at the well learns that forgiveness is available.
• Both need something that they could not earn…grace.

Believe in the truth of the Gospel. You can’t be good enough to not need salvation, and you can’t be bad enough that salvation is not available to you. Salvation is a free gift to all who believe. Grace.
