I will go first.
Titus 2:11-14,
I note something in this passage that seems rather ignored by many believers today.
The fact that God's grace is given to us as a teacher. The divine influence upon the heart (from the Greek word charis), which has appeared to all men, is not merely given to cover us when we sin and justify us when we believe, it's also given to deliver us from ungodliness and worldly lusts.
Grace affects the moral character of our hearts. Grace ought to be leading us to not just a one time, past salvation of our souls, but rather to a continued redemption from all iniquity, so that we can be/become the unique, zealous people God wants us to be/become. |
"But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for
ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another."
It is GRACE, which we know as the Holy Spirit that is imparted to the Church,
that teaches us to do His will. We do not learn doctrine by the preaching and
teaching of men, as much as the preaching and teaching of God's men has
confirmed His GRACE and His will in us!
