It took only one night to get Israel out of Egypt, but it took a long time to get Egypt out of Israel, and the majority of them never reached the Promised Land. Beloved it is one thing to confess our faith in Christ to be delivered from the penalty of our sin, but it is another thing to die to ourselves daily, so Christ can dwell within. As Peter said, once we comprehend the price of our redemption, we cannot help but live our lives in total obedience to the one who loved us so.

The grace of God does not give us the license to live as we please, but rather the power to live as we should. In Titus 2:11-12, the Bible says, “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. For the non-believer, grace teaches them they need Jesus, as does the Law in its purest form. For the believer, it teaches us that we have Jesus – now live up to your calling and live your life in holiness unto the Lord.
