The grace of God does not give us the license to live as we please, but rather the power to live as we should. In Titus 2:11-12, the Bible says, “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. For the non-believer, grace teaches them they need Jesus , as does the Law in its purest form. For the believer, it teaches us that we have Jesus – now live up to your calling and live your life in holiness unto the Lord.

Anchors are found in many inscriptions in the catacombs of Rome, and they were worn by many Christians as a sign that their hope was in Christ alone. The source for this symbol is found in Hebrews 6:19,

“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.”
