GRACE, Exploring Its Riches



                               other words, grace is not granted to us without its divine
                               power that enables us to please God. Therefore, those who
                               claim to live in grace but have no power to live by God’s
                               standards are impostors; they simply don’t know what they
                               are talking about.


                                                The Power of Grace



                               I  find  Titus  2:11-14  as  one  scripture  that  expresses  the
                               power of grace. It says,


                                     “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.”


                               This scripture does not expect the grace-filled believer to
                               be  a  weakling  before  the  temptations  of  the  flesh  or
                               allurements  of  this  present  age.  There  are  many  things
                               grace makes a Christian capable of doing in this life. Let us
                               explore some of the things the grace of God can produce in
                               our lives as Christians.
