A gift of grace
Good evening, today I want to share this beautiful message.
The grace of God.
Grace: It is the love of God that moves him to give something valuable, to whom he has no merit and does not want it. God must convince us that we need it. It is the love of God that pours out at a great cost to Him. Amazing grace that saves sinners anywhere, at any time, no matter how vile and wicked, if they approach God with repentance and faith. They will be saved, gloriously, instantly, radically, dramatically, and eternally.
What does the grace of God teach? According to V12, we must live in this world in a sober, pure and godly way.
What is the lifestyle that is a disgrace to grace? It is worldliness, that is, worldly desires.
The great problem of the church in this age is worldliness. Many like to hear messages about grace, but they don't want to be taught about worldliness. However look at V15 This speaks, and exhorts and rebukes with all authority… ”.
The devil doesn't want you to hear about God's grace and so he tries to deny grace. But since he cannot do it, then he tries to distort grace to make him believe that once saved by grace, works do not help him or keep him safe, then it does not matter how you live Brother, there is no more diabolical lie and hellish than that. We need to pray for God to help us live lives that are not a dishonor to grace. Sometimes we hear from worldly Christians, that's a contradiction. A great evangelist used to say: “To speak of worldly Christians is the same as to speak of heavenly devils. In this generation we do not hear preaching about worldliness.
Because the grace of God has been manifested for salvation to all men, teaching us that, renouncing impiety and worldly desires, we live in this age sober, just and godly. awaiting the blessed hope and the glorious manifestation of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works. This speaks, and exhorts and rebukes with all authority. Nobody belittles you ”.
Titus 2: 11-15
