Titus 2:11-14
11”For the grace of GOD has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great GOD and Savior JESUS CHRIST, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.”
The grace of GOD isn't just a one-time act of salvation; it's an active force that teaches us how to live. JESUS is coming soon ! His grace instructs us to turn away from sinful desires and instead pursue a life of sensible, righteous, and godly living. We who are the redeemed of the LORD, are to live with "the blessed hope" of JESUS’ return. This hope isn't passive waiting; it shapes our present life, encouraging us to live in a way that honors Him now, knowing that our ultimate redemption is drawing nigh with each day that comes. JESUS gave Himself for us “to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.”
