The Grace of God

For the grace of God has appeared, bring salvation to all men….”

Titus 2:11

The grace of God refers to God’s respect for undeserving human beings.  We are all sinful and in our natural state separated from God.  God exercises grace as He sees fit. Rather than melding out all the punishment we are due, God waits for us to respond to His grace. 

The second part of God’s grace is His gift of salvation to those who respond to His grace, and His promise of eternal life.  Grace is more than God extending a way out to us; it is His continued work in redeeming us, restoring us, sanctifying us, and preserving us for eternity.
