““We not only have a saving grace, we not only have a keeping grace, but we have a teaching grace.  Titus 2:11-12, “For the grace of  God  that  bringeth  salvation hath appeared  to  all   men,   Teaching  us  that,  denying  ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.”  It is the grace  of  God  that  teaches  us  how  to  live  soberly,  righteously and godly in this present world.  People who are not taught by the Holy Spirit and by the grace of God to live right should not call themselves Christians. God””
