Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:14) 1/ What Jesus did - "Gave himself for us." 2/ The reasons given in this text. - That he might redeem us from all iniquity. - That he might purify unto himself a peculiar people. - That he might make this people zealous of good works. 3/ Faith in Christ must come first then works. **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the profound truth that Christ gave Himself not merely to secure eternal salvation, but to transform His people into a holy, distinct community zealous for good works. Drawing from Titus 2:14, it emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice was designed to redeem believers from the power and pattern of sin, purify them through the Word and Spirit, and cultivate a life marked by genuine righteousness and devotion. The preacher underscores that while multiple reasons for Christ's death are found in Scripture—reconciliation, atonement, liberation from sin's dominion, and adoption into God's family—the purpose of sanctification and holy living is a vital, visible fruit of redemption. Crucially, the sermon insists that faith in Christ must precede and produce good works, warning against the danger of self-righteousness where moral effort replaces reliance on grace. True holiness, therefore, is not a means to salvation but a grateful response to it, evidenced by a transformed heart that desires to honour God in all things, even amid ongoing struggle with sin.
