This verse highlights that God’s grace, which offers salvation, is available to everyone. Through this grace, believers are taught to turn away from sinful behaviors ("ungodliness and worldly lusts") and instead live in a way that reflects a transformed life. To "live soberly, righteously, and godly" means to exercise self-control, to act with integrity, and to live in a way that honors God.

"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Ref Isaiah 40:31
This verse offers encouragement to those who place their hope and trust in God. To "wait on the Lord" means to have patience, faith, and reliance on God’s timing and strength, rather than our own. When people put their trust in Him, God promises to renew their strength, allowing them to overcome challenges and persevere.
The imagery of "mounting up with wings like eagles" symbolizes rising above difficulties with God’s support, while "running and not being weary" and "walking and not fainting" suggest endurance and resilience.

The verse reassures believers that God is "faithful and just," meaning He is both reliable and fair, and will forgive sins as promised.
Not only does God forgive, but He also "cleanses us from all unrighteousness," which means He removes the guilt and impurity caused by sin, restoring us to a right relationship with Him.
