JESUS GRACE IS A TEACHER

GRACE HAS DONE WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT
Grace Is A Teacher – Titus 2:11, 12, 13

God gets His grace to us through people as well. And through them and their ministries we are taught by the resident teacher, the Holy Spirit. I John 2:27 says “The anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him". Here are some things Paul says anointing of Grace teaches us:

A. Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness v12
B. Grace teaches us to deny worldly desires v12
C. Grace teaches us to live seriously v12
D. Grace teaches us to live righteously v12
E. Grace teaches us to live godly right here and now v12
F. Grace teaches us to live for Jesus and look for His return. v13

Jesus Grace is a teacher and it taught Zachaeus in Luke 19 - Do you remember his response after he experienced the abundance of grace? He said, “I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” It is grace that leads people to true repentance. Grace does not result in superficial behavior modification, but inward heart transformation.

Law governs your behavior awhile but Jesus grace governs your heart and changes it. The law condemns the self-righteous but Jesus grace will transform the sinner. Religion or Law is always performance oriented but Christianity and grace is transformation. Jesus Grace gives you LIFE transformation. God is after inward Heart Transformation.

The Word of God says that grace will teach you – “For the grace of God … has appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust…”
The law could not teach you to deny ungodliness and worldly lust and save you sins, it exposes your sins. It cannot cover, cleanse or remove your sins. The law was designed to show forth our sins and tell us we can’t save ourselves. The law is bringing man to an end itself. It shows us that we need a Savior who can cleanse and remove our sins. Through the law we have the knowledge of sin. (ex. mirror) Only through Jesus Grace it has power to make us holy, just and righteous.

“The Law condemns the best of us, but grace saved the worst of us.” “Jesus did not come to bring us laws and more laws. He came to bring us abundant life through His grace!”

God's Grace is the Overflowing Grace! Jesus grace is an overflowing grace. In 2 Corinthians 4:15 quoted "... so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." The more we immerse ourselves in grace, the more likely we are to give grace and share grace. The river is there - its the river of Gracious Grace. Like I say before, the longer we walk in the garden, the more likely we are to smell like flowers. Jesus grace will lead us to the GLORY OF GOD.

May the Glory of His Grace continuously manifest upon us all always!
