while we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of the Savior of us, Christ Jesus,

Titus 2:11-14

17. Why will the anointed and their companions never regret having lived as temporary residents in this wicked world?

¹⁷ “The happy hope” of the anointed is that of reigning with Christ in heaven. (Rev. 5:10) When the hope of eternal life on earth is fulfilled for the other sheep, they will no longer be temporary residents in a wicked world. They will have beautiful homes and an abundance to eat and drink. (Ps. 37:10, 11; Isa. 25:6; 65:21, 22)
