Question

"For the grace of God has appeared, with salvation for all people, instructing us to…wait for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ…a people…, eager to do good works."

Answer 1

Answer:

The verses are taken from Titus 2:11-14.

Explanation:

These excerpts of the Bible verse are taken from the Book of Titus chapter 2 verses 11 - 14 (NIV). The full verse says-

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.

12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

13 while we wait for the 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 wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

The whole passage tells the theme of God's grace that offers salvation to everyone. It then continues to talk of the hope of seeing Jesus Christ come again for the second time, taking the saved with him to the eternal kingdom in heaven. This salvation/ redemption through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross is what gives us eternal life. And thus, we are his people, cleaned and purified to do his good works.
