Titus 2:7a In everything set them an example by doing what is good.
Verse 11 really strikes me in this chapter: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.” We have talked about the fact that God’s grace is a gift, unearnable, yet lavished upon us. All we have to do is receive it—something that can be ridiculously difficult at times…receiving what we feel unworthy of.
Titus 2:7b-8a …In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned….
Verse 11 reminds us of *why* it is crucial that we learn to receive, willingly, the lavish gift of grace—it is this gift of God’s grace that offers salvation to all people. Grace is lavished upon all. All we have to do is receive it. And through that grace, salvation.
Titus 2:8b …so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
Lord, You know I struggle at times to receive the grace You offer so abundantly. I know I’m not worthy, which I feel rules me out. Yet You see me—only and always—as Your deeply loved child. Help me to see myself through Your eyes. Help me to accept the grace You so mercifully offer. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
Have a blessed day.
