Titus: Message Four

So many of us have felt the weight of being told what God expects without ever understanding how God enables it—and the result is often frustration or pretense. Titus 2 reminds us that the Christian life is not fueled by our willpower but by God’s grace, a grace that has appeared in Jesus Christ to redeem us, instruct us, and anchor us in the hope of His return. In these verses Paul shows that everything God commands, He Himself empowers; the same grace that saves us is the grace that shapes us. As we look at Titus 2:11–15, we discover that the Christian life begins with grace, continues by grace, and is ultimately carried home by grace.
