GOD'S AMAZING GRACE Titus 2:11-15

Introduction: Grace is characterized as the "underserved love and favor of God toward fallen man." When you consider all that that implies, it is a marvelous idea! It implies that any miscreant can be saved! Any tempest can be endured. Any circumstance can be confronted. At the point when we sing Amazing Grace, we are coming clean.
