In today's episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explores how the grace of God doesn't merely forgive it transforms. Drawing from Titus 2:11–14, this episode explains how the gospel saves, trains, and sustains believers for a life of holiness and gratitude to Christ. Grace: • Appears in the gospel — Jesus Christ makes grace visible. • Saves us completely — salvation is God's work from beginning to end. • Trains us to live differently — true grace leads to holiness, not compromise. • Points us to eternal hope — the same grace that saved us will bring us home. Scripture teaches that grace is not passive. It is powerful. It reshapes our desires, fuels obedience rooted in gratitude, and anchors our hope in Christ. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness…" — Titus 2:11–12 Grace redeems our past, shapes our present, and directs our hearts toward the glory to come.
