Scripture: Titus 3.  

OBSERVATION
(What is God saying here?)

Titus 3:4-7 (NLT)
⁴ But—”When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love,
⁵ he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
⁶ He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
⁷ Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.”

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my circumstances today?)

In Paul’s letter to Titus he prompted him on important biblical points that would help him in his ministry. I believe that this book is included in our Bibles because of similar ministry opportunities in our churches today. This ties in with our Bible study yesterday where we were reminded that our righteousness is nothing when it comes to saving us from our sins, and that it is only through our acceptance of the wonderful grace of Jesus and His mercy that we might be saved. Friends, this is THE most important decision you could make during your lifetime, for in doing so we are reminded in verse 7 that we could be assured of our eternal destination. Where are you at today? Been thinking about the condition of your soul but in a dilemma about how to correct the situation? These verses carry a powerful message. Perhaps God is leading you to make this most important decision today, while you still have breath in your body. Please call or stop by and visit with your pastor or other spiritual leader, or email me so that we may pray with you and guide you into reconciling your life with the Creator of all life, Jesus Christ. Not only will I rejoice with you, but the Bible teaches that the angels in heaven will rejoice when one gives their heart to the Lord! Be the reason for a celebration today!

PRAYER
(With God’s help, what am I going to do differently today because He said it?)

Father, I believe that You are speaking to the hearts of many today, because You want more than anything to see lost people come to know You as their personal Savior. Please soften the hardened hearts today so that they may have a desire to ask You into their heart. May this be a day of celebration for all the angels in heaven!
