For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. (Titus 2:11-14, NRSV)
Grace has appeared!
He has brought salvation with Him!
The baby in the manger has brought us salvation and grace, and He will show us through His life how to renounce impiety and worldly passions. He will teach us to love God and to follow the commandments. Not the letter of the Law, but the meaning of what God intended for our lives.
To live lives that show the love that God has for all of creation.
As we await His return, let us follow His example and live by grace!
