The grace of God teaches believers to say no to which two things?

• A. Doubt and Fear
• B. Ungodliness; worldly passions
• C. Pride and greed
• D. Temptation and sin

Answer: (B)

Grace at work in a believer’s life trains the heart to reject what is contrary to God: ungodliness and worldly passions. The grace that brings salvation is described as teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. This shows that grace isn’t only forgiving; it empowers a change of desires and habits, so we turn away from behavior and cravings that dishonor God. Ungodliness means living without reverence for God or ignoring His ways, while worldly passions refer to desires shaped by the fallen world system rather than the kingdom of God. While other issues like doubt, fear, pride, or greed can appear in a believer’s life, the specific scriptural focus of grace’s instruction is to deny those two opposing forces: ungodliness and worldly passions.
