The Grace of God

"For the grace of God that brings salvation comes to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldy passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purifty for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." -Titus 2:11-14 (NIV)
