The expectation of grace leads Christians to look for the glorious return of Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises.
The expectation of grace encompasses the hope that believers have in the return of Jesus Christ. In Titus 2:13, it refers to the anticipation of the 'blessed hope and glorious appearing' of our great God and Savior. Rather than focusing on signs or predictions about the end times, grace teaches Christians to direct their gaze toward Christ Himself, eagerly awaiting His return. This hope provides encouragement in the present and assures believers of their eternal glory with Him, as it is rooted in the promises of God that are absolutely reliable. Understanding this expectation motivates believers to live in a way that honors God as they await their Savior’s return.
