Our “blessed hope” is “the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Just as surely as Christ came once in humility, He will come again in glory. Just as he came to establish His kingdom, He will come again to crown it.
The love and unity within the church are powerful testimonies to the transformative power of the Gospel. The church's internal care and activity serve as a model for the broader society, reflecting the kingdom of God on earth.
“…grace is not something we earn, initiate, or awaken to on our own—it is something done to us and accomplished for us. The reality of this imputation shapes what it means to experience grace—not merely as an emotion but as a divine intervention in the deadness of sin.”
