GLORY Titus 2:11-14 Part 2 of 4

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.  

upright and godly lives in this present age 
2 Timothy 3:12-13  In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

while we wait for the blessed hope--the appearing 
1 Corinthians 1:7  Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
1 Timothy 6:14  ... to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ...

of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ

who gave himself for us

to redeem us from all wickedness 
Matthew 1:21  "She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

and to purify for himself 
Hebrews 1:3  The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
1 John 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
