In this message, Mac emphasizes the significance of the grace of God as revealed in Titus 2:11-14, which brings salvation and instructs believers to live righteously. He highlights that grace is personified in Jesus Christ, who not only saves but also transforms and disciples us, conforming us to His image. Mac stresses that God's grace is available to all mankind, reflecting His desire for everyone to be saved. He discusses the concept of being God's "own possession," a term rooted in the Old Testament, illustrating that believers are called to be a holy nation and a kingdom of priests. The message underscores the importance of Christ living in us, which is foundational to our faith. Mac warns against the dangers of relying on self-effort or knowledge without the life of Christ. He encourages believers to embrace their identity in Christ, recognizing that true freedom comes from serving Him and others.
