How do we know that grace teaches us to deny ungodliness?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace instructs believers to deny ungodliness by changing their hearts and affections, leading them to live righteously.

Grace is described in Titus 2:11-12 as appearing to all men, bringing salvation and teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. This transformative work of grace is not merely informational but effectual, leading sinners to a changed heart and new affections. When grace enters a person’s life, it creates a desire to reject sin and to pursue a life that honors God.

The grace of God empowers believers to say no to worldly passions, guiding them instead toward a life of righteousness and godliness. It provides practical directions for living, helping believers to order their lives in ways that are pleasing to God. Essentially, the teaching of grace is integrally tied to the believer's experience of salvation and ongoing sanctification, making it clear that true faith results in a life that seeks to deny ungodliness and pursue righteousness.
