There is a difference between trying to live life by our own idea of morality and letting grace discipline and train us in how to live moral lives. Some things we simply cannot achieve without depending on God. It is ironic that all of creation—except for mankind—depends on Him. God’s grace enables us to do things we cannot do on our own; it changes us from the inside, gives us the right attitude, and teaches us to do everything motivated by love. Dependence on God, no matter how we may feel at the moment, elevates us to the divine level where He can lead us. Refusing to let our emotions control us gives us victory over the enemy when he throws adversity at us. We are truly pleasing to God when we turn over all of ourselves to Him, yield to Him, and allow Him work through us to reach others.

The world tells us to always practice good morals and to do the right thing. There is nothing wrong with this; however, we cannot achieve morality without Jesus. Our motives matter; the mistake many people make is trying to live moral lives for others’ approval, instead of for God’s approval. It is impossible to live the kind of morally upright lives God wants for us without His grace. Doing good through self-effort simply to please others is a temporary motivation that will not last; doing good because the Holy Spirit has shed God’s love in our hearts is what He really wants to see. The life produced by the teachings of grace not only has the outward manifestation, but also the right attitude toward God. Trusting Him to work in us and change us on the inside, until everything we do is motivated by love, elevates us to a level we cannot reach on our own.

There is a divine level of life that we can live only through the discipline of grace. This kind of life requires the presence of the Holy Spirit, who teaches us God’s morals and helps us do things that are impossible through our own human ability. He wants to take us to a higher plane that can only be lived on the supernatural level. When we got saved, God gave us the Spirit of grace as a gift; another gift we received is our salvation. God will never leave us after He saves us. He stays and continues working in us until we begin seeing positive changes in ourselves; these changes are the visible results of salvation that we are not responsible for. As believers, our dependence on the Holy Spirit to teach us morality and godliness sets us apart from others who depend on their own efforts. Developing and deepening a relationship with the Holy Ghost enables Him to lead and guide us through every situation we encounter, while teaching us the kind of lifestyle that reflects who we are in Christ.
