Reading – Titus

Highlight Verse:

“As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Titus had been trained by Paul in person. At one point, Paul left him on the island of Crete to establish the leadership of the church there.

In this and the following verses, Paul basically tells Titus that leaders should live out their faith. The way people lived would confirm their faith.

Their faith was not based on what they did. Rather, what they did was based on their faith.

We all know that we are imperfect beings, failing every day.

The question is, if one’s life does not reflect their faith at least some, is the faith real?

Paul doesn’t leave it there. He urges Titus to encourage people to live out their faith wherever they are in life.

Sometimes we need that encouragement as well.

This is a good chapter to take a bit of guidance and encouragement on how to live out your faith.

In what ways do people see your faith influence your actions?
How do you encourage others to live out their faith?
