Chapell, commenting on the phrase 'the grace of God has appeared' in
Titus 2:11: Grace is not some abstract doctrine or theological
construct. Grace comes as Christ does. Grace is as personal as he is. In
fact, Christ is grace. The unmerited favor of God is what Jesus is
about, but it is also who he is. We should thus see grace as a personal
action by a personal God who saved us from our helpless condition out of pure love.
--R. Kent Hughes and Bryan Chapell, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus: Guard the Good Deposit (Crossway 2000), 339
Start the celebration! Shout for joy tell everybody you know you are
saved by grace and grace alone. Or say it this way you are saved by
Christ and Christ alone. Anyway you look at it you were helpless you
were hopeless you were without God in this world. God in his grace
hunted you down and rescued you from your hopeless existence because of
his great love. Lets get the party started!
