God not only offers us salvation from Him, he also gives us all the resources to live a full life and enjoy well-being here on earth.

For the grace of God has appeared for salvation to all men, 12 teaching us that, renouncing ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, justly, and godly in this age,

Titus 2:11-12

In the previous text we find one of the greatest and most impressive written expressions in the Bible that we can find, we read that Paul tells us: "the grace of God be manifested for salvation to all men", could we perhaps find any better and more important news than this? This great news was hidden or invisible for a long time for most people and today it is simply exposed for anyone to reach. We also understand that the grace of God is not exclusive to a select group, the grace of God is available for all humanity and the apostle Paul also speaks of this to us as "the power of God."

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:16

This power of God that has been manifested to all men is at our disposal, this is part of grace as sometimes pain is in the middle of the combo. For many people, the power that the word suggests only refers to some type of instant transformation or achieving some achievement or merit in an easy and simple way. We often forget that grace comes with specific instructions.
When we read the above text we learn what the plan manifested in God's grace consists of: "teaching us that, renouncing ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, justly, and godly in this age," we have the power From learning to say no to many things, we can learn through the grace of God to live a secluded life, a life of holiness, having at our disposal all the resources to achieve it, but we cannot achieve any of this without accessing and appropriating of the grace of God.
This implies constant learning in living in newness of life through appropriating the grace of God, this is not something instantaneous, it is a gradual growth that accelerates according to our predisposition and study of the word of God , that is: when we learn more and more about God. We understand that salvation is the first step of living in this grace of God, after which we have a lifetime of learning and opportunity to live in newness of life as preparation and anticipation of what we will experience for eternity.
