The Forgotten Grace

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteousness, and godly, in this present world. Titus 2:11-12 (KJV)

Bible Reading: Titus 2:11-15

In this era of grace, we are often quick to present the message of the amazing grace of salvation that we forget to present the same grace that is responsible for sanctification. We preach God’s love, His grace that is gotten not by works lest anyone should boast. We often ignore the fact that grace is not a license to sin or continue in sin. Like Apostle Paul cautioned: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (Romans 6:1-2)

Our reading today reminds every user of this devotional; Christians, preachers, workers and the church at large that God’s amazing grace that bring us to salvation has been released unto us and through it, we are taught to live godly lives, shun unrighteousness, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and pride of life. The same way we embrace God’s grace that saves and redeems us, the same we should embrace sanctification, purity and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. Always remember that grace is a teacher of righteousness; grace speaks to us to deny ourselves of ungodliness and live for God alone.

Self-Reflection: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.

Action Point: Learn to listen to the voice of grace that teaches righteousness

Daily Confession: Lord I embrace God’s grace to live a righteous and holy life and I choose to listen to the voice of grace.

Intercessory prayer: Lord deliver as many that are enslaved in any sin or wrong habit.

Song: Grace, grace, God’s grace

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace, grace, God’s grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sins.
