A Teacher Called Grace

No doctrine of Scripture is more precious to mankind than the doctrine of salvation. And no word is more crucial to the doctrine of salvation than the word grace. That the sovereign God of creation would reach down from heaven and rescue undeserving sinners from the bondage and slavery of sin, from spiritual death and eternal separation from God in a place called hell, can only be described in one word: grace.

Salvation is a wonderful doctrine in the Bible. It is a badly misunderstood doctrine as well, especially as it relates to our understanding of the work of Christ and how it applies to sinners. It is not popular in our day to claim that Jesus is the only way to God. Modern culture and theologies see this as too narrow and restrictive, intolerant, unloving, and unworthy of the God we imagine God to be. But the Bible is clear on this issue, speaking of Jesus the Apostle Peter said…

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

In Titus 2:11-15, Paul expounds upon the doctrine of grace. What we discover is that we have A TEACHER CALLED GRACE. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit…
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26

The writer of Hebrews calls the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Grace (Hebrews 10:29), and thus we see that through the power of the Holy Spirit we are beneficiaries of A TEACHER CALLED GRACE. What does grace teach us?
