Titus 2 11-15
Keith focuses on the grace of God that has been revealed through Jesus Christ, bringing salvation to all people. This grace calls believers to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures, instead living with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God. Keith emphasizes that Paul connects commands for righteous living to the grace of God, explaining that grace is not only a free gift but also the motivating force behind good deeds. Keith explores how grace is always tied to instructions in Paul's writings, both in what we should do and why we do it. The passage also highlights the "already but not yet" tension, where believers experience redemption now but still await the full realization of Christ's return and our complete transformation. Lastly, Keith reminds that living out these instructions not only transforms us but serves as a testimony to the watching world.
