The Activities of Grace
6 January 2010 – Genesis 19-21
These are the activities of grace.
Lot, who gets drunk, whose daughters sleep with their father to prolong their family line. Lot’s family are saved from the judgement of God on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Abraham & Sarah were too old to have children, yet had been promised a child by God. How do they respond? They take matters into their own hands by having Abraham lie with Sarah’s servant Hagar. Yet to Abraham & Sarah a child is born in their old age.
Hagar mocked her mistress Sarah because of her infertility. With her son Ishmael she finds a well in the wilderness.
All these flawed, frail, sinful people didn’t earn God’s blessing by observing the law. No. God demonstrates His love by His amazing generosity. This is the God of grace and these are His activities.
