Grace teaches us what to long for, what to pursue after saying no to worldly and ungodly desires. Not only that, grace also enables us to live up to God’s calling for holiness, making possible through Jesus what is too hard on our own. Best of all, God in His grace offers the hope of eternal life, freeing us from temporal temptations. In this message, Alistair Begg expounds on the anticipation grace creates and the transformation it performs.
11For hthe grace of God ihas appeared, bringing salvation jfor all people, 12training us to renounce ungodliness and kworldly passions, and lto live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in mthe present age, 13nwaiting for our blessed ohope, the pappearing of the glory of our great qGod and Savior Jesus Christ, 14rwho gave himself for us to sredeem us from all lawlessness and tto purify for himself ta people for his own possession who are uzealous for good works.
15Declare these things; exhort and vrebuke with all authority. wLet no one disregard you.
