Blessed Hope

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
It teaches us to say "No"
to ungodliness and worldly passions,
and to live self-controlled,
upright and godly lives in this present age,
while we wait for the blessed hope—
the appearing of the glory of our great God
and Savior, Jesus Christ,
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.

Observation
• Salvation begins the process of changing the way you think.
• You are free to say no to ungodliness and yes to godliness.
• God has not left you the way He found you, praise the Lord.

Prayer
Father, I pray that you will continue to remake and refine my life.
Help me to walk an upright life that honors you.

Guide and guard my words today.
Help me to live with hope and anticipation of your return.
In Jesus Name, Amen
