Live wisely and uprightly with God. Serve others.

Paul sent these words to Titus.

For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life; Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works. On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honor. (Titus 2.11-15 Bible in Basic English (BBE))

Receive these words from Paul in grace. You may wonder what they have to do with you. Everything. These short verses state how we should live as believers in Jesus Christ. Turn away from evil. Live wisely and uprightly with God. Serve others and, as a result, serve the Lord.

Prayer:

Loving Son of our Heavenly Father. You save me from eternal life without you with my repentance. In gratitude, I offer my life to you and your father so they can teach, help, and make everything right for you. Amen.
