Today's Devotion

Today I had my devotion at school. The devotion was really good and inspiring that actually let God teach me something. What the something is, is grace.

I forgot the title.. The title was really good also, when I remember I'll edit it here.

The devotion was from Titus Chapter 2

¹You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. ²Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

³Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. ⁴Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, ⁵to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

⁶Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. ⁷In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness ⁸and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

⁹Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, ¹⁰and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

¹¹For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. ¹²It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ¹³while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ¹⁴who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

¹⁵These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

Titus chapter 2 talks about how a person should act and show himself in a correct way according to God's will. But the author of the devotion book stressed on grace instead.

The most cool part about it, is that he spoke on the definition of grace. Out of the three he gave(I forgot the other two...) the one he liked the most that defines grace is that. Grace is "Love in action". He explained that grace is love and without love, grace could not be. For grace is God's love on us even though were not worthy to receive it.

What a good short devotion! That's what I got today!
