The Teacher
"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 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 glorious appearing 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.
(Titus 2:11-14)
It has become a core mindset today,
that the only way to make a man live an upright life,
is through setting rules, and implementing punishments.
But is that system really that useful?
Everyday, many people are caught on the wrong side of the law,
and new people are sent to prison.
Many, are repeat offenders.
And the fact that there are repeat offenders,
shows that this whole law and punishment system doesn't really work, does it?
Well, when all else fails,
the bible doesn't, right?
And it states clearly, that it is the Grace of God,
that will teach us to live upright lives,
to differentiate the right from wrong.
Beloved, are you trying to hard to live a straight edge life today?
How about you take a different approach, bearing in mind the kind of upright life you want to live,
and see if depending on own works, or the Grace of Daddy God will get you there faster.
It's up to you=)
And This Message, Glorifies Jesus.
