Bible Text: Titus 2:1-12 |

Greater is He that is in Me        January 3, 2016

Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
What marvelous grace that was offered to all! By grace I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Grace teaches and instructs, but grace gives us the power to live it. Without the grace of God there is no power. It’s the power of godly living that the grace of God has given us that has us looking and loving His appearing. Grace enables us to make a choice. The only choice is Him. Most people think of love, joy, peace as emotions but they are choices too. Joy is the state of the heart when believing.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Peace is an after effect of a mind that is stayed on Him.
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Love is a gift of God. That love is multiplied by the Holy Ghost.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
This is a choice to take what God has freely given us. We are seated in the heavens with Christ; see and believe from that perspective.
‘Denying’ sounds like so much effort. To the self-righteous it emboldens the flesh, for others it can be so overwhelming, it brings fear. Search the scriptures and rightly divide the truth. ‘Denying’ means to prove it false to yourself. Ungodliness and worldly lusts are not your life. He that is born of God cannot sin. The enemy wants us to think we are ungodly, but the Lord encourages us that is not us.
1 John 4:4 . . . greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The heavenly life of Christ that is in me is greater than the fleshly life that I live in this world. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, but that grace is my all sufficiency to super abound to every good work. He brings us to these places to show us we are so beyond in Him that you ever thought you were. Let that man reign. That life that is in me is greater than the sin in this flesh. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Our fellowship is in the gospel of Christ. Gather with people that love Jesus and encourage me. In this new year, let Him prove it. Ungodliness and worldly lusts are not true; it’s time to be free. Be confident in His grace. Christ in you will have you be ready. We are now more than conquerors through Christ that loves us. I am now a son of God. Grace is reigning. I am believing in the I AM that lives in me.
