Glorious Debt Free Condition Through Grace

Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to  all the people.

Every one of us on this earth is burdened by a sin debt that we cannot pay.  It is a debt the carries the most severe of all debt penalties - eternal damnation.  Our Divine Creator through His perfect love and forgiveness offers each of us a payment plan that allows us to remove the onerous debt.  He is a most merciful creditor.  

The debt clearing offer of Our Heavenly Father is not based on our good deeds, nor on the basis of our performance of any type.  The redeeming offer that He makes to us is made to us as a free gift.  It is called His grace.  It is revealed to us by the inspiration of His Holy Spirit.  All we have to do is accept it in the name of His Son Jesus.

To add to the sweetness of His offer, He extends His grace to us by providing His Holy Spirit to in-dwell in us to guide, counsel and comfort us as we go through the debt period of our lives.  Let us remember that we have not earned, nor do we deserve the grace of salvation.  We are most unworthy, sin-burdened servants. It is by God’s grace and the shed blood of His Son that our salvation is possible.  

Let us now live righteous and godly lives that correspond to the glorious debt free condition that we will hold when we stand before the Lord.  Let humbly recognize that we cannot do it on our own, but we can through the grace of Almighty God and the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the riches of Your grace that are extended to us through Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.  We pray that through Your grace we will lead sober, righteous and godly lives. May those who You have placed in our lives be drawn to accept Your salvation offer that is available to all of them through Your precious grace.  We ask all these things in the name of the One who is the fount of all of Your grace, Jesus Christ.
