GRACE AND PURITY

For the  grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us  that  denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age
Titus 2:11-12 NKJV

The grace of God is the foundation of being justified by faith.

For by grace you have been saved  through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8 NKJV

The church of today, to begin with, is sustained by the grace of God.This is the word in many preacher's sermons who are conversant with the work of  the new testament Gospel according to Apostle Paul.
Personally I love the gospel of grace because it is the true anchor for the church of God.
In fact I am moved by the way Paul presents it to the churches he wrote to. It is clearly evident and without any doubts that Paul's ministry to the gentile world was founded on Christ by the  grace of God. 
The power of God is revealed to those that never deserved it, Salvation becames established in people's lives, sinners receive remission of sins,many are set free from demonic powers, miracles and the uncommon miracles are manifest through the hand of Paul. That's grace. The grace of God.The unmerited favor.
   I admire the  show, I admire the work of Grace done by the hand of Paul in the glory of God. So do many preachers today. Yet many are falling out of the mark, many are bitting the air, many are missing out. That's sad,right?

We must go back to the drawing board and ask what's the problem.
Soul searching is important here! Going back to the cross of Jesus is the main point. We will find something that is not consistent in today's world of preachers and that's Purity. Everyday,we are falling on the fate of so many things that compete for our attention.

Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:looking diligently lest anyone fall short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
Hebrews 12:14-15 NKJV

This is where many are getting a definite knock out. I pray that we realise that grace and purity are inseparable for those accessing the uncommon depths of God's glory.Here the writer of this Hebrews letter states very carefully the need for brethren to be diligent lest  anyone fall short of the grace of God, lest there be any root of bitterness springing up to cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.
As a partaker of God's grace it is very important to walk in the light of the gospel so that access to the Cross of Jesus that brings forgiveness is very close. Contrary to that, many Christians today live lives that no one can attest or give a testimony about. Simply because  the transparency that comes from walking in the light if Christ is not in them.

I am compelled to note that Paul's engagement with the work of Kingdom building for Christ is the main avenue of his uncommon accomplishment in the gospel. I can clearly attest without any guesses that Paul was not a wanderer nor  too busy in the  worldly things. His commitment to the call and  focus to the agenda gave a place for the Holy ghost to work.
Remember, you can not provoke the power whose accessibility is not in your interests.

If you desire to be used of God in the work produced by His grace, then you must learn to cultivate the right environment for the Holy ghost.And, nothing attracts God's agenda like a pure vessels.Grace abounds where purity dwells. There the work of God is activated for manifestations.

Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:21 NKJV

Have you cleansed yourself? Then this is just the beginning;you are a vessel of honour prepared to be used.Doing this is the start of accepting that you are ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
Hence we conclude that grace is very is a need for the church.  This is what comes from God.On the other hand we have  a task; be cleansed from the latter so that the work of God's grace can be established in us.
Therefore,we must  accept that God's desire and will for us is to walk in purity so that His purpose in us can be accomplished in the overflow of His abundant grace.

In conclusion, the boundless depths of God's love revealed through the His grace is a place of venture and the greatest reason for uncommon accomplishments in the Holy ghost. Hence the submission that teaches purity and righteousness is the only avenue leading to access of those depths of God's glory . We must therefore learn that ignorance has no place in God's work.
Let's all be willing to reject every source of defilement and embrace the grace with understanding lest by unwise dealing we fall short of this irreplaceable provision from God; grace.

May all  grace abound  unto salvation of our souls through the enlightenment that proceed from God's word unto us.
