4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 3:4-7).
We talked yesterday about the hope associated with Christ’s second coming. That hope was made possible by Christ’s life, death and resurrection. The act of Christ’s first coming is an act of enormous grace and mercy towards mankind. Without this gracious action there would be no true future hope. And yet the hope delivered is beyond measure and of infinite worth. That hope is the eternal relationship between God and Man being restored and abundantly good.
