Through God’s grace

TITUS 2:11-12 NIV
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 
It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, 
   and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.

We don’t earn God’s love and forgiveness
but God’s grace enables us to change
and become the people that God envisions we can be.

And so … let us pray for and work to grow the fruit of self-control in our life
