Second Part of Three (3) Series on the Topic on Grace
Titus 2:11–12 (NIV)
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions,
and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”
We often think of grace as a one-time gift — the beautiful moment when God forgave us and brought us into His family. But grace doesn’t stop at salvation. It goes with us, walks with us, and reshapes how we live every day.
Grace is not just a ticket to heaven — it’s the power for transformation here and now.
Grace Is Our Teacher
According to Titus 2:12, grace doesn’t just comfort us — it teaches us. It shapes our desires, our choices, and our character.
Think of it this way:
The law says, “Do this or else.”
Grace says, “You’re already loved — now live like it.”
When you know you are deeply accepted by God, you no longer obey out of fear. You obey out of love and gratitude. That changes your motivation, and motivation makes all the difference.
Grace Empowers, Not Excuses
Real grace doesn’t make us lazy or careless. It gives us strength to say “no” to the things that pull us away from God and “yes” to the things that bring us closer to Him.
Grace empowers:
- Self-control when temptation knocks
- Peace when anxiety rises
- Courage when obedience feels hard
- Forgiveness when bitterness whispers lies
God’s grace gives us a new identity — not as slaves to sin, but as beloved children walking in freedom.
Grace Makes Obedience Possible
Without grace, we’re just trying to behave better in our own strength. And honestly? That gets exhausting. But with grace, we’re no longer working for acceptance — we’re working from it.
You are not striving alone. The Holy Spirit is working in you, guiding you, and giving you the power to walk in step with Jesus every day.
Philippians 2:13 says:
“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”
That’s grace in action.
Walking in Grace, Day by Day
So how do we live under grace daily?
- Start each morning remembering you’re fully accepted in Christ.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you respond to life with grace, not guilt.
- When you fall, run to God — not away from Him.
- Let your love for Jesus lead your obedience, not fear of punishment.
Reflection Question:
Where in your life do you need to stop striving and start trusting God’s grace?
🙏 Short Prayer:
Lord, thank You for grace that not only saves but transforms. Teach me to walk with You daily, not in fear or guilt, but in the freedom and joy of being deeply loved. Empower me to obey, not because I must — but because I want to. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
