I love interacting with seminary students. As they have their minds stretched, they continue to stretch me attempting to wrestle through doctrine with them. That happened this weekend with a young man who attended our church prior to his call to ministry. We were discussing the concept of grace and I was reminded of a passage that has stretched my thoughts over the years.
Titus 2:11-12 “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us…”
You can read these verses in context HERE. Verse 12 goes on to say grace teaches us “to say no to ungodliness and to live self-controlled”. The concept that grabs my attention, however, is that grace teaches. Grace is a broader term than just a granting of salvation. Grace is…well…amazing!
What concepts of God and His Word are blowing your mind these days?
The thing that is blowing my mind these days is how much Love the Father has for me. I know that I do not in any way understand the Love that He has for me but the Love that He has shown me just this week has been amazing. This is an area that I would like to really be strethced with.
