Titus 2.11-15

We live between the two Advents, where the work of the cross has already been accomplished…sin has been atoned for, the penalty has been paid, and forgiveness of sins and eternal life provided for all those who would believe in Jesus. And now we await the return of our King, the appearing of the glory of our Great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, to finish the work of salvation, removing sin and death for all time and establishing His eternal kingdom.

We were saved on purpose with a purpose. We have been redeemed so that we might be purified and be zealous for good works. We were saved to do stuff. To let our light shine in such a way that others see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven. We were saved to have an impact on this world for the kingdom. We were saved to point others to Jesus.

The King is coming back, and when He does, we will all have to give an account of how we invested the life He has given us. What are you doing with yours? It’s not too late. If you’re still here, He still has work for you to do.

If you have not yet trusted in Jesus, please make today the day. The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. It is as simple as recognizing that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. Believing that Jesus is the Savior that God promised. He lived a perfect life. He died a sacrificial death on your behalf and was raised the third day conquering both sin and death, so that by faith in Jesus you can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life, that you might be His own possession, redeemed, purified and zealous for good deeds.
