Titus 2:11,12 "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ...."
Colossians 1:5,6 "...which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel" v. 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you, since the day you heard and knew (experienced) the grace of God in truth." It is like hearing the word of faith by the spirit that transformed us.
