TITUS 2:11 GRACE HAS APPEARED, JOHN 1:14 AND THE
WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE
FATHER, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.
WHAT IS GRACE? UNDESERVED FAVOR. THE SCRIPTURES SAY THAT ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF
GOD. NONE OF US ARE WORTHY OF HEAVEN OR OF GODS
FAVOR.THATS WHAT MAKES GRACE SO WONDERFUL AND AMAZING.
AS WE STUDY THIS PASSAGE IN TITUS I WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE THREE POINTS ABOUT GODS GRACE.
1.POSITION- THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION
HATH APPEARED TO ALL MEN.(YOU DON’T GET ANY MORE THAN ALL.) THE POSITION OF GRACE IS THAT IT IS AVAILABLE
TO ALL MEN.
OUR POSTION PHYSICALLY IS THAT WE ARE IN THE AGE OF
GRACE OR THE CHURCH AGE IF YOU PREFER.
THATS OUR POSITION(PHYSICALLY)WE ARE ALL IN THAT
POSITION.
SPIRITUALLY THOUGH WE ARE IN ONE OF TWO POSITIONS.
A)IN CHRIST-SAVED BY GRACE EPH 2:8-9
B)IN DANGER-WE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED GODS WILL THAT WE
BE SAVED BY GRACE. HEBREWS 10:26-31
2.PURPOSE-THE PURPOSES OF GODS GRACE. TITUS 2:11 & 14
A) TO SAVE US VS.11 VS.14 AND CHP.3 VS 5&6
B) TO SEAL US CHP.3 VS 7. EPH 4:30 GRIEVE NOT THE
HOLY SPIRIT WHEREBY YOU ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY
OF REDEMPTION.
C) TO SHOW US CHP.2 VS 12 SAYS GRACE IS A TEACHER
TEACHING US TO DENY- UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY
LUSTS.
TEACHING US TO LIVE- SOBERLY(SERIOUSLY),
RIGHTEOUSLY AND GODLY IN THIS PRESENT WORLD.
GRACE IS ALSO TEACHING US TO BE WORKING TO THE
GLORY OF GOD. CHP 3 VS 8 AND VS 14. CHP.2 VS 14
SAYS THAT JESUS GAVE HIMSELF TO PURCHASE US
(REDEEM) TO PURIFY US AND TO PROVOKE US UNTO
GOOD WORKS( PECULIAR PEOPLE ZEALOUS OF GOOD WORKS)
OUR FAITH IS EVIDENCED BY OUR WORKS JAMES 2:18
JUST AS OUR LACK OF WORKS TESTIFIES AGAINST US
TITUS 1:16
GRACE ALSO TEACHES US TO LOOK TITUS 2:13 WHICH BRINGS
ME TO MY THIRD POINT.
3.THE PROMISE OF GRACE-THE PROMISE OF GRACE SAYS THAT
WE HAVE A BLESSED HOPE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.THE RETURN
OF JESUS. GRACE WAS MANIFESTED TO PREPARE US FOR THE
MANIFESTATION OF HIS GLORY. GRACE TEACHES US TO BE
READY FOR THE PROMISE,TO BE EVERWATCHING,EVERLOOKING
EVER WORKING TO HIS GLORY.MATTHEW 24 : 42-44
AMEN
