    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 14, 2013
    based on 10 ratings

    BETWEEN GRACE AND GLORY. Titus 2:11-14. The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Titus has much to say about how Christian people should live between the two Advents - or “epiphanies” - of our Lord Jesus Christ: and this little section sets a theological basis for our behaviour. The grace of God has ...read more
