Titus 2: 12 ESV "It teaches us to say "No" to
ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly
lives in this present age,"
I know it's challenging to
live self-controlled; I tend to forget and speak my mind. It has been on my
mind for a very long time that I want to be a pleasing person in the sight of
my God. I want Him to say, "Look, that's my child!"
I think we all strive for
some form of perfection, and it's not always possible. Living here in this
world, we still have our old human nature that comes into play now and then. I
have concluded that God wants me to live a Godly life. Why did God save me? I
believe that God saved me because Jesus Christ died on the cross for my
redemption of all the wickedness and that I can be purified for him, "a
people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." I must not let
anyone despise me. What are some good qualities Paul urges Christians [me] to
demonstrate in their [my] lives? So Titus tells me, to be subject to rulers and
authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no
one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility towards all
men.
[Titus 3: 1 - 2]. I have
redemption by the mercy of the living God, Jesus Christ. Titus 3 verses 5 "he saved us [me], not
because of righteous things we [me] had done, but because of his mercy. He
saved us [me] through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy
Spirit,"
Prayer
LORD, God, humbly, I want
to pray to say thank You, that You have saved me by Your mercy. I know, without
a doubt, I would never have made it on my own to heaven. LORD, people are dying of the Coronavirus, and they
need Your help, we live by example. Please, LORD, stretch out Your hand and
heal these people, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
