The grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. If we disregard God's instruction after receiving His free gift of grace through faith, it reveals not only our disrespect for His instruction but also our true disposition towards His gift and Him. Grace motivates us with a lasting desire to do right without fear of punishment. A true understanding of God's grace is impossible without understanding the cost of sin and its weight in God's eyes.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
The grace of God isa TEACHER
The lightdisregardforthe LAW of GOD reveals MORE to usthan we realize about OUR dispositionto HIS
GRACE….
If You were to give you me a gift,andI saidwithmy mouththat I lovedit,butsomehow lateryoufound
out that I reallyhatedit,youwouldbe veryhurtbythat.
The Grace of God is a gift,andwe are savedby THIS GRACE through OUR Faith.
If we lightlydisregardHISinstruction,afterWEHAVEreceived HISFREE GIFT.It revealsnotonlyour
DISPOSTION toHIS instruction,BUTOUR TRUE dispositiontohisGIFT.
Because if we have no respectforHIS INSTRUCTION,we have norespectforHIS GIFT,
If we have noLOVE for HisGIFT, therefore we have noLOVEfor HIM.

As muchas God’s GRACE revealstousthe UNDYINGLOVE of God, A True Understandingof God’sGRACE
isimpossible withoutanUNDERSTANDINGof the COST of SIN – It’s WEIGHT! IT’S True APPEARANCEin
the EYES of A HOLY GOD!
A life of humble service toGodfor 100 yearscouldneveratone forevenONE minute of SIN. While God
desiresthatwe live RIGHTEOUSLY,eventhe sinceresteffortof righteouslivingCAN NEVERearnthe
GRACE or FAVORof GOD!!! Thisis because SIN isa debtthat can onlybe paidfor withthe deathof the
transgressor. Whenwe understandwhat SIN reallyCOSTs –We can truly appreciate the RemedyforIT.

We reveal ourownSELF-RIGHTEOUSNESSand Hypocrisy.
How can anyone intheirrightmindrejecta FREE GIFT? That’s preciselyit,we rejectSALVATION because
we are not IN A RightMind.Sin causesusto make foolishdecisions.
The Place that the Lord is tryingto getus to iswhere were are so consumedbyHISLOVE , that we’d
rather DIE WITH HIM, Than LIVE WITHOUT HIM
