Titus Chapter 3 and beginning The Grace of God
We all have heard and know the following portion of verse 9 from 2 Corinthians 12 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee.
But let's take a better look.
The Thorn in the Flesh
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 - And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Sermon by Rev. Edward Hunt
Matthew 7:24-27 - Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock; And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock. And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand; And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

- We know that God's grace is unmerited. We cannot earn it or work for it. God's grace is a gift from Him to us.
