“WHY GRACE MATTERS MORE THAN GRADES” 1 Peter 4:1-11 A Simple Definition Of Grace For The Parent “Stay Out Of The Ditches” Grace is the road that travels between the ditches of legalism and license. GRACE COMPELS US TO… To Die To Self (vv 1-2) To Destroy Idols (vv 3-6) To Discern What Is Best (vv 7-10) THREE REASONS WHY GRACE MATTERS MORE THAN GRADES 1. Because Understanding God’s Grace Causes A Monumental Shift In Our Expectations For Our Children. 2. Grace Is God’s Golden Rule For Parents To Treat Their Children In The Same Way That God Treats Them. 3. Because Grace Takes The Destructive Nature Of Toxic Competition Out Of Life. 4. Because Grace Naturally Draws Our Children To The Heart Of God. Nothing will draw your child to the heart of God like grace. ACCEPT IT MODEL IT SHOW IT and watch what God will do in the heart of your child. GRACE MATTERS More than grades More than athletic goals More than economic prosperity. It matters because it displays the very nature of the heart of Almighty God.
