1. Plan of Grace
Titus 1:1-4

2. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
Eternal life has always been God’s purpose.
Paul’s purpose as a servant of God, as an apostle of Christ and why he wrote the letter.
“for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness, which rests in the hope of eternal life.”—vs. 1b-2a
God’s purpose in creating this universe was to bring life; for eternity.
When He created Adam and Eve it was for life.
Ephesians 1:1-10

3. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
Since the beginning of time God has worked His plan of grace through willing faithful servants.
All according to His appointed season
And all preached and taught

4. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
We are now in the season of the church
God’s elect would be those who have answered the call of God through Christ according to his purpose and will.
II Timothy 1:9, “who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning if time,”
Ephesians 1:11-14

5. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
Titus 1:1 says, “a knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness”
That is truth which leads to holy living.
You see, truth is more than knowing believe, confess, repent and be baptized.
There is work for us to do and ways that we are supposed to act.

6. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
Ephesians 2:8-10, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

7. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
The authority of the church lies in the word when it comes to:
Church organization, Sound Doctrine, & Holy living
I Timothy 3:14-15, “Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.”

8. Before time began, grace has been the plan.
God’s grace has been made available to all through the sacrifice of a savior.
As God promised and brought forth at his appointed season.
Ephesians 1:4, “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.”
Galatians 4:4-5, “But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.”
I Timothy 2:5-6, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.”

9. God’s grace is to good to pass by!
