December 19, 2009







In view of the Christmas Season, the following very basic outline, flowing from a teacher's heart and mind, based on Titus 2:11 seemed appropriate. This outline is not intended to be exhaustive, but suggestive. For any and all who wish to expand on this or develop - go for it!











"For the grace of God that brings salvation, has appeared to all men! Titus 2:11 (NIV)"


The Provider of Grace - God

He is the God of all grace -

The Law came through Moses; grace and truth through Jesus Christ - John 1:16

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ - 2 Cor. 8:9


The Purpose of Grace - Salvation

Hebrews 7:25 tells us that Christ saves us to the "uttermost" (offering a full or total salvation) - One can undertand this to include:

Deliverance from Past Penalty of Sin - Eph. 1:7

Deliverance from the Present Reigning Power of Sin - Rom. 6-8

Deliverance from the Future Presence of all Sin - Rev. 22:3-6


The Proof of Grace - Has Appeared

He appeared in a body - 1 Tim. 3:16

He appeared once for all at end of ages - Heb. 9:26

(He) Jesus who appeared to you - Acts 9:17
