The Pastor's Corner
A word from our pastor ...
God's Grace teaches:
Titus 2:11-12, For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
v12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age. (NKJV)
1.The grace of God teaches us the love that God has for His creation, and especially for His crown jewel, mankind.
This can be clearly seen by the price He paid for us on the cross at Calvary. Yes, the shedding of Christ's blood, and His willingness to give His life for our redemption through Him sends us a picture of how the grace of God teaches us of the love God has for us.
2. The grace of God also teaches us that God has made salvation available to everyone. Not only has He made it available, but He desires for every human being to come to Him.
2nd Peter 3:9, The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
3. God's grace teaches us to be gracious. Throughout scripture the principle is taught; Since God has been so gracious toward us, we are to extend that grace toward others.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, this is only a few of many ways the grace of God teaches us.
Have a blessed week, In Jesus name. Amen.
