The “No” that Grace Teaches Us

Apparently, many presumed believers live in the trance of self-righteousness as they often trust in the forgiveness patterns of the Lord with their repeated follies – never wanting to compromise the wrong doings against the alleged love of God, as they voice often their favorite slogan “Even when we are unfaithful, God is always faithful”. Does it matter if we proclaim the faithfulness of God with our lips when we are not faithful to Him in reality? Truth to be told, God cannot approve the darkness of any kind at any given time, at least for His name sake – But He approves the divine patterns of forgiveness, through the faith and grace, to the chosen along with the proper repentance.

It is written in Titus 2:11-14; “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good”. This concept of living holy is not something new that mentioned in the New Testament, but from the time of Adam and Eve. It seems that the adversary devil is at work, and he has succeeded bypassing the fundamentals of the Holy Scriptures, with his new and easy techniques mimicking salvation. And then someone shouted “The revival, prosperity gospel, forgiveness, healing and even salvation are all in the tip of the tongue”!

Once again, while we are waiting for the blessed hope of eternal life; conform to the patterns of heaven, for the glory of the Lord as He reigns in our midst ever. Ask forgiveness while promising not to repeat it; and renew our spirits in the love of God by saying “No” to all unrighteousness in this world – and our Lord in heaven will allow us to embrace the eternal glory, through the given faith and the grace, for His name’s sake. Amen
