Daily Bread: Salvation Through Grace

😇 Shalom to all.
God’s word today:

“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,”
‭‭(Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

You may have heard a statement sounded mockery: “It’s so easy to be a Christian, just believe in Jesus and then be saved. You can do whatever you want, then ask for forgiveness and your sins forgiven by God.” This is the thought of people who do not understand the true teaching of Christianity.

It is true in Christianity teaches that salvation is solely a gift from God – “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—”(Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬).
But it does not mean that a Christian after being forgiven and saved can then do everything they please even to the point doing sins. Not at all, in fact, the grace of God (which forgives and saves) will teach us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions. God’s grace intended to help people to stay away from sin and wickedness.

WHEN WE RECEIVE GOD’S GRACE, WE SHOULD ALSO LEARN FROM THE GIVER OF GRACE TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH HIS WILL
