The Ultimate Expression of Grace



                               not  distracted  by  the  allure  of  the  world,  of  human
                               recognition,  worldly  elevation,  celebrity  status,  great
                               worldly  achievements,  scholarship,  wealth,  global
                               endorsements and fame. It should be that even where we
                               have these things, we make a deliberate choice not to allow
                               these things to have us.


                                                    LAST WORD



                               As I conclude this discourse on Grace, I do not only rejoice
                               at the gift of grace that God had bestowed on His saints, I
                               rejoice even more that no one who comes to Him in simple
                               faith is denied this grace. We started with Titus 2:11-14, and
                               there I will end:


                                     “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,
                                     looking  for  the  blessed  hope  and  glorious
                                     appearing  of  our  great  God  and  Savior  Jesus
                                     Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might
                                     redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for
                                     Himself His own special people, zealous for good
                                     works.”


                               Everyone is entitled to God’s grace. Everyone seeking the
                               salvation of God will find that His grace is already made
                               available  to  save  the  penitent.  The  already  converted
