God's grace is the unmerited love and favor that appeared in human form through Jesus Christ. This grace saves us by redeeming, purifying, and making us God's children through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Grace doesn't stop at salvation - it transforms us by training us to renounce ungodliness and live self-controlled, upright lives. We cannot accomplish this transformation through our own effort but must rely on God's grace to empower us. Ultimately, grace will glorify us when Jesus returns to establish His eternal kingdom where we will live in absolute perfection.
What do you do with the new life that Jesus gives you? You LIVE DIFFERENTLY. Your new life in Christ should impact and change every area of your life. You should begin to live differently than you lived before you decided to follow Jesus.
How do we do this? How do we live differently as followers of Jesus Christ? The Bible is full of practical counsel and powerful truth to help us live differently. One source for this practical counsel is a very short New Testament letter called TITUS.
