Jr High | The Direction of The Holy Spirit (John 16: 13-15) | Tate Cox

Main message: Paul describes God's people in Titus 2 as a specially chosen people defined by God’s grace; that grace should lead Christians into holiness, readiness for Christ’s return, and eager good works.

Key points:

• Salvation is by God’s grace (a free gift received by faith) and that truth must be understood correctly.
• God’s people deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously, and godly (pious people).
• Christians should be prepared and watchful for the imminent return/rapture of Christ (prepared people).
• Believers are purchased/redeemed by Christ’s sacrifice and purified (purchased and purified people).
• The redeemed have a purpose: be zealous for good works that display Christ and open doors for the gospel (purposed people).
