Live Soberly, Righteously, And Godly

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ..." Titus 2:11-13

As Christians we are to live righteously and to provide witness that brings God's plan and purpose to fulfillment. Salvation brings about a transformation within us and produces a 'new creature' who is free from the controlling power of worldly lusts. Giving us the ability to say not to sin and yes to godliness.

We are eagerly awaiting, with joyous anticipation, "that blessed hope" which is the second coming of Jesus, The Christ. This is a reference to the rapture, when all believers will meet Christ "in the air." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 When that day comes, don't be left behind.
