God's grace does more than just comfort us; it INSTRUCTS us to do certain things. These are as follows:

-- Deny ungodliness and worldly desires (vs. 12).

-- Live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age (vs . 12).

-- Look for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of Christ (vs. 13).

-- Be zealous for good deeds (vs. 14).
