February 6
“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,” Titus 2:11, 12.
Without the grace of God we have no hope of salvation. The Word tells us that the “wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Because Jesus lived and died for us, because “He arose on the third day according to the scriptures,” I Corinthians 15:4, we who believe know we are redeemed from destruction! We know our feet are set on the Path of Life and that it has become our destiny to “rule and reign with Jesus,” II Timothy 2:12.
The great privilege He has given us is free but it comes with a profound obligation as Titus has quoted, “…that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, that we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present age,” Titus 2:12.
The world around us is becoming more corrupt with each passing day. There is a failure of leadership in high places and there is a wanton abandonment of the law of God which is eternally true for the pseudo law of man which is totally flawed.
Yet our Jesus has assured us that if we hold fast to Him and to the truth He has confirmed to us we may be sure that we shall “be forever with the Lord,” I Thessalonians 4:17.
May we embrace Jesus with a full heart that allows us to see beyond the corruption of the institutions and the men of time to the unfailing glory of the One who broke the bonds of time and gave to us the unfathomable blessings of eternity!
