"He has made everything
beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of
men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to
end" (Ecclesiastes 3:11). "For the grace of God that brings
salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to
ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,
upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the
blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior,
Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all
wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very
own, eager to do what is good" (Titus 2:11-14).
