The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Titus 2:11-14, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all
men,
12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly,
righteously and godly in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God
and Savior, Christ Jesus,
14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify
for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.”

One of the exciting aspects of travel is eating the foods of various countries. The food in India is simply unexcelled. Eating deer in Sweden was delightful, barely surpassing the dark whale in Norway! Wonderful experiences everywhere! But were you ever served food that you simply refused to eat? Whose loss do you reckon it was?

It’s much like that with salvation. The LORD God graciously sent His Son, Jesus, to bring us salvation; yet there are some who refuse to receive Him. His instruction is that all mankind might receive salvation through His Son. God wills that we divest ourselves of sinful habits and desires, and live righteous and holy lives –lives that are a credit to Him and to His Son!

Jesus Christ gave His life, dying on the Cross and shedding His blood –all for our sins. We are to distance ourselves from beliefs and habits — all things that would demonstrate an alliance with Satan.

We are to accept Jesus as our LORD, and live righteous and godly lives, looking earnestly and excitedly for His Coming again. Do you know Him? He has made Himself available to you, but you must experience Him by faith. “”Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Be ready for His Return! If you are not ready when He comes, you will be left behind.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
