The Gracious & Glorious Appearances of Christ

In this present age, between the first appearance and second appearance of Christ, believers live by Grace alone. While we eagerly expect His return, we can live confidently and gratefully in the grace by which we are saved, sanctified, and called to serve.
I. Saved by Grace (v.11,14) …because we cannot recognize our need or His provision without Him
II. Sanctified by Grace (v. 12)…because left to ourselves we are prone to wander…
God WILL accomplish all that He promises
Serve by Grace (v. 14)

Saved by grace, sanctified by grace, serve by grace
