Deeper Grace is an on going study of Grace. This study is from the Book of Romans. The Jews knew that it was grace that chose Abraham and made him the father of their nation and the father of faith. Scripture and the prophetic word taught them their history was one of grace outpoured upon a special people of God.
Grace is an active, live ingredient, not a passive covering. Grace is the equivalent of an umbilical between the heart of God and the heart of the spirit man. It nourishes, even when the people of God are unaware of its actions. Grace delivers the sufficiency to overcome evil and grow the inner man toward the stature of Christ. Grace, however, refuses the company of the three confrontations Paul made with the Corinthian church: immorality, division and judgmental Pharisee-ism. Grace is never a covering for sin.
For the first study of the New Year 2013 and continuing the series on Grace, our focus will be based on three passages in Paul's epistle to Titus. In these three passages, the reader will learn that the "Grace" Paul talks about in his salutary remarks is greater in dimension than what is held in common concepts today. He greatly refines his reader's understanding in the second and third passages of this discussion. Incorporating all the aspects addressed in Chapters 2 and 3, his opening lines about "grace, mercy and peace" take on a broader field.
