Tts 2:11¶For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
What does grace do? It brings salvation! What is salvation? It means being delivered or being saved! Being delivered or saved of What? Anwser is in next vs.
Salvation: sōtēria 1)deliverance, preservation, safety, salvation a)deliverance from the molestation of enemies b) in an ethical sense, that which concludes to the souls safety or salvation
Tts 2:12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should livesoberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
We are delivered and saved from sin! That is what wordly lust and ungodliness is. We should live soberly, righteously and Godly and when do we do this? IN THIS PRESENT WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is there sin in righteousness? Is there sin in being godly? Tts 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Tts 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people,zealous of good works.
He gave himself that he might redeem us from all iniquity. If he is redeeming us from iniquity what is he redeeming us from? Pay careful attentin to d in the greek of redeem!
Redeem: lytroō 1)to release on receipt of ransom 2) to redeem, liberate by payment of ransom a) to liberate b) to cause to be released to one's self by payment of a ransom c) to redeem d)to deliver: from evils of every kind, internal and external
Iniquity: anomia ) the condition of without lawa) because ignorant of it b) because of violating it 2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness AV — iniquity 12, unrighteousness 1, transgress the law + 4160 1, transgression of the law 1
He is releasing us from transgression of the law! What is transgression of the law? 1Jo 3:4¶Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
It says he is going to purify unto himself a peculiar people and they will be zealous of good works. What does this mean? What does the word purify mean? Be sure and read through this greek transliteration!!!!
Purify: katharizō 1) to make clean, cleanse a) from physical stains and dirt 1) utensils, food 2) a leper, to cleanse by curing 3) to remove by cleansing b) in a moral sense 1)to free from defilement of sin and from faults 2) to purify from wickedness 3) to free from guilt of sin, to purify 4) to consecrate by cleansing or purifying 5) to consecrate, dedicate 2) to pronounce clean in a levitical sense AV — cleanse 16, make clean 5, be clean3, purge 3, purify 3 He is going to set free and purify a group of peculiar people! Notice purge in the authorized version! Same purge as seen in this scripture! 1Cr 5:7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
It says the same things as Tit 2:14 above. Jesus died that you can get rid of your sin and live for God a new creation! When you are purging out leaven what are you purging out. You are purging out your sin so you can be born again! Who are peculiar people? Peculiar: periousios 1) that which is one's own, belonging to one's possessions a) a people selected by God from the other nations for his own possession Peculiar people are the children of God! What are the requirements for being a child of God? 1Jo 3:10¶In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. What do it say in Tts 2:14 that Gods purified and redeemed people are going to do while on this earth? Be zealous to do Good Works!!!!!!!!!What is zealous? zēlōtēs 1) one burning with zeal, a zealot 2) used of God as jealous of any rival and sternly vindicating his control 3) most eagerly desirous of, zealous for, a thing a) to acquire a thing, (zealous of) b) to defend and uphold a thing, vehemently contending for a thing Gods children will definately being doing works and they will burn with passion to see that they are done in truth! They wont being doing their own good works but works they are led to do in the spirit! Tts 2:15These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
So I have been called a zealous christian on here and I take that as a compliment! While trying to break me down they have by scripture stated I am living accourding to the truth! 2:15 speaks for itself!

I am not learned or versed in Greek, Hebrew, or Arabic, so I rely upon what the more educated tell me about those things.
Salvation comes to us from the word Sozzo (spelling?) which means: deliverance of the soul, mind, and body. The Grace of God, bringeth "Sozzo", unto whosoever will. It isn't worked for or earned by mans efforts. It was purchased for us on Calvary and is the gift of God.
It is like unto the lottery. We have a millionaire here in Idaho who had the winning ticket, but has failed to claim his millions. It belongs to him, the price was paid, all that is needed is for it to be claimed. However if it goes unclaimed, the individual could die and be buried in the plot of the indigent though he had millions that he failed to claim.
Grace says, "take my yoke upon you and learn of me". Its your choice.
