KINDNESS AND THE LOVE OF GOD Tuesday
November 3, 2015
Text: Titus 3:1 – 8 Memory verse: v 4
Paul
commanded Titus to remind Christians at Crete the importance of good deeds (3:1).
As they were rebellious, he called on them to be obedient and law abiding
(3:2). This made Paul to give a summary of the doctrine of salvation and expounded
on several of the provisions of the new covenant (Ezekiel 36:25 – 28).
Salvation is not merited by any righteous works, but wholly determined by God’s
mercy and love.
The
kindness and love of God shown to us in our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power
of the Holy Spirit should challenge us to show our gratitude to God in doing
good as we have opportunities, by precept, example, and charity, to all our
fellow men. Let this be your priority from today as we go forth into the world.
We should not forget to show kindness to others too as we have been enjoying
the kindness of God in various ways. Have a great day.
Action: Today show
love to someone by preaching to the person or through charitable deeds.
Prayer: God, grant that in appreciation of your kindness and
love, I will give myself unto good works
