Christianity Quote by J. Bennett Collins
““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””
