SAVED FROM AND SAVED FOR

Jul 8, 2001 PM

Titus 2:11-15

 

Introduction

   We often speak of “the other side of the coin.”

   There are many things in life that are two sided.

   Salvation has its two sides—what we are saved from and what we are saved for.

Conclusion

   Indeed, we are twice blessed.

   God has delivered us from all that would defeat us and harm us.

   He has delivered us for all things that are good.

   Let us, therefore, never look back, but always live in newness of life!
