Christian Commitment
in Today's World
Titus 2:11-15 (The Message)
11-14God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone! We're being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness.
15Tell them all this. Build up their courage, and discipline them if they get out of line. You're in charge. Don't let anyone put you down.
For Reflection
God is committed to us. Are we committed to Him? What in your life today can be considered Godless and self-indulgent? Don't worry about getting rid of those things. Displace those things by allowing the grace of God to flow through you and engage you in a God centered, God filled, and God honoring life.
Pray to become more open to God's grace. Ask God to help you displace ungodly acts and thoughts with those centered upon His intention for your life.
