Today’s Scripture: Titus 3:8 NKJ: This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
The book of Titus and Titus 3:8 in particular are the biblical basis for these affirmations of God. What are these things we are to affirm constantly?
To be hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast to the faithful word we have been taught, that we may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.
We are to show humility to all others and to be reminded it is God’s grace that saves us. It is God’s mercy and the regeneration and renewal He so generously pours out on us through His Holy Spirit.
We affirm these things constantly to remind us of the hope we have in Him. We affirm these things constantly to share this hope and good works that benefit all people.
In God’s Word and His sayings, we find our hope.
What do you affirm constantly that shares the hope you have in God?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for Your Word and for Jesus who poured out Your Holy Spirit upon us. LORD, help me to affirm constantly Your Word and to know and share Your hope of eternal life and Your constant renewal. Help me to live the goodness You provide in Your Word and Spirit. Amen
