Titus 2:11–15

We are living in a world that seeks after itself. Whatever makes me feel good is what I am supposed to do. If I can add God’s grace to that mixture, then that means more for me. The problem is not with God’s grace, but with how people view God’s grace. Titus 2:11 tells us that God’s grace has come, bringing salvation to all men. Praise the Lord, because we all need salvation, and salvation can only be given by God. God’s grace serves a purpose, and His Word shows that it goes beyond salvation.

If we only look at verse 11, the conclusion can be made that God’s grace brings only salvation, but Paul does not stop his thought in verse 11. It continues on for four more verses, instructing everything grace brings to the table. Where grace brings salvation, it also teaches us how to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, how to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present time in which we live.

The Word shows how grace provides faith for us. As we live in our grace, know there is coming a time where the redemption we have received through grace will be made complete as we are joined physically with our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ! Jesus is able to do this because of the price He paid by becoming the sacrifice we need to obtain this blessed hope.

Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 6:20 that we have been bought with a price. Therefore, don’t let grace lead us only to salvation, but lead us to live our life the way God has purposed us to live for Him. We should desire to live life righteously, putting away selfish ambition. God’s grace is key in salvation, but it goes way beyond. So as we live for Jesus, remember that He has a way of life that is described throughout the Bible for us to live. It’s our responsibility to seek out what is righteous living, and do our best to let grace lead you to live in that way!
