God’s Saving Grace (Titus 2:11-15)

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to Pastor Titus, was speaking about the appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus when he wrote about the remarkable, undeserved grace of God that made salvation possible for mankind.

God’s saving grace is for all—older men, older women, younger men, younger women, and servants. There is no distinction with God. All who are saved become One in Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:26-28

God’s saving grace gives opportunity for Christians to deny ungodliness and worldly passions. Grace disciplines us to deny self. The Holy Spirit is our Helper. John 16:7-15; Galatians 5:16-26

God’s saving grace offers Christians the ability to live sensible, upright, and godly lives, purposefully reflecting spiritual maturity to the world around them.

God’s saving grace empowers every Christian to confidently await the fulfillment of our blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He willingly gave Himself to be crucified on our behalf, to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness. He also purifies for Himself a chosen and special people, His own possession, who are eager to do what is good. Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given.

Pastor Titus was responsible for preaching and teaching the standard of Kingdom living. Although the Cretans were known for their laziness and unscrupulous behavior, once they became born-again believers, they had an obligation to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom. 1 Peter 2:9-17

Pastor Titus was to encourage and correct the churches in all the communities on the island of Crete, exercising full Biblical authority as he confronted opposition to God’s holy standards.
