More from Paul's Greeting to Titus (Titus 1:2-3)

SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 10-02-02

 

My Worship Time                                                      Focus:  Paul’s Greeting Continued

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  Titus 1:2-3

 

            Message of the verse:  “2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago, 3 but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,”

            Paul continues with his greeting speaking about hope, which is a noun and not a verb.  The hope of the believer is eternal life, and as stated before it is not a hope that I will have eternal life, but something that one can know for sure.  As the verse goes on it says that this hope if from God who cannot lie promised before time began.  The way that God gives this truth out to people is by the preaching of His Word, and Paul goes on to say that God has entrusted him to be one of the ones to preach about eternal life thought God our Savior.

 

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  As I go through different things in my life each day I can learn to put them more into prospective by remembering of the hope of eternal life that God, my Savior has given to me by His matchless grace.

 

The Word of God reminded me of the hope that I have of eternal life.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  To remember the truth that I was reminded today when things don’t go as I would like them to go.

 

Memory verse of the week:  2Timothy 4:18
