Episode Notes: Responding to God’s Amazing Grace. (2 Kings 20: 1-21)

God’s grace is amazing; we even sing about it. But maybe we say that so often that sometimes we forget just how astonishing it really is.

 The Bible says: “For by grace are you saved through faith… it is the gift of God, not of works.” But consider the backdrop of that verse. What were we really like before we came to Christ? 

 But in some passages, it describes us as being in enmity with God — not neutral, not mildly indifferent, but opposed to Him. And yet, in that condition, God loved us. And God demonstrated His love by sending His Son to die for our sins so that we could receive eternal life as a gift.

 That is amazing grace.

But that’s only the beginning.

 God’s grace doesn’t just save us.

 Grace saves us.

Grace strengthens us.

Grace sustains us.

Exceedingly.

Abundantly.

Above all, we could ask or even imagine.

So, if God pours out grace like that, then how should we respond?

 There are many possible biblical answers to that question.  But since we’re walking through 2 Kings, chapter by chapter, we’ve now arrived at a moment in Hezekiah’s life where God poured out extraordinary grace on him, and then Scripture shows us exactly how he responded.  

And tucked inside this story is something every one of us needs to hear. Something about our hearts right now, not just Hezekiah’s…..
