JD Bowman | Foreshadows of Saving Grace

1. LOOK UPON ALL OF GOD’S GOODNESS TO YOU AS GRACE. (3-4)

Like Jacob, we only experience God’s blessing of a saving relationship with God by His grace.

?- Do I tend to think that I deserve for God to be at work for me?

?- Do I realize that the only reason why I am able to have a relationship with God is because of receiving Christ’s death and resurrection to count on my behalf?

2. LET GOD BLOW YOUR EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT HE CAN ACCOMPLISH. (11-16)

Like Jacob, we can be blessed by God far more than we ever expected, and the greatest blessing is growth in our relationship with Him.

?- Are your prayers limited by what you think God is capable of or willing to do?

?- Are you stuck in sin or discouragement because you’re believing that God isn’t interested in helping you find freedom?

3. LOOK AT ALL YOU HAVE FROM GOD AS BEING BY HIS SOVEREIGN GRACE. (17-20)

As it was with Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph’s sons, God is in sovereign control of how and how much He blesses us.

?- As a person who’s been saved, do I recognize that it’s only by God’s sovereign grace?

?- What is there in my life that I might pridefully look at and think, “God didn’t provide that to me. I did.”
