By God's Grace

Titus 3:1-8, “¹ Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, ² to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. ³ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷ that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
⁸ This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.”

AS Christians we have received grace and forgiveness, as Christian we should in turn show grace and forgiveness to all we meet. It’s easy to say that but we all find it harder to do than we might want to admit too. In receiving God’s grace we are set apart from the world and as we spend time separated from it we can sometimes place ourselves above those who are still living in the world. We lose our ability to relate to people who are lost and struggling with life without God. I have to remind myself everyday that except for the grace of God go I. have you ever wondered where you would be had God not  moved upon your heart and changed you leading you away from the destruction that comes to all who fail to believe in Him. Now works are not the way to salvation but they do present a right relationship with God. We should desire to serve God out of the abundance of love He has shown us through His Son Jesus. We should desire to show His love to the world and that is done through our living a healthy relationship with those who still need Him. Never allow yourself to look down on someone due to their current condition you could have been there in that place had God not saved you. Have a blessed day.  May God’s Love for everyone shine through you as you go about your day?
