The meaning of the grace of God
Verse to meditate: Titus 2:11-12 « For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age»
This verse is the best explanation of the mission of the grace of God. The grace of God is not the license to sin but it gives us the power to overcome sin. The verse just said that the grace of God teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions. It’s impossible to get rid of them without the grace of God.
We live in the time when there is a strong pressure from the world system (the present age) but the word just taught us that the grace of God will enable us to live an upright and godly life despite the pressure of this present age.
Every Christian has overcome some area of his/her life but there must be some more room to overcome. Don’t try to make it by your own….you need the grace of God to get there. Just recognize your limitations and believe the Lord to enable you and He will give you a complete victory. We need to watch and pray in order to make it according to Matthew 26:40-41 (Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak).
Nobody can overcome sin without the grace of God and without the grace of God, we can do NOTHING.
