Text — Titus 2:11-14
Message
“Oh these stains and dirt now make my beautiful dress ugly.” Winifred complained and began to sob. She looked helpless and unhappy about the stains on the dress she wanted to wear to the wedding. It all looked like she would no longer attend her sister’s wedding which she had been looking forward to for a long time. Praise God! Her mother applied detergent to it and washed away all the stains.
Disobedience, unforgiveness, hatred, fighting, telling lies, covetousness and other forms of sin are stains that make the life of every sinful child ugly and dirty. Sin deforms, but the grace of God transforms. Much more than how the detergent removed the dirt and stains on Winifred’s dress, the grace of God washes away all stains of sin, makes us clean within, removes the guilt and ugliness of sin, brings peace to our hearts, gives us access to God, and does much more.
No child should continue with the stains and guilt of sin because grace is available to everyone. Access to grace begins with genuine repentance and faith in Jesus’ blood. To receive grace daily, read your Bible and ask God every day for grace to love and obey Him.
