Well, I am on a roll here today !! (He's filling me faster than I can type) 2nd blog post today ... :-)
The Lord laid this on my heart today, may I share it with you.
Tell them
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Titus 2:11-14
What things?? Well, let us see.
In verse 11 we see salvation. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
In verse 12 we see sanctification. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world
In verse 13 we see glorification, looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ
Also an explanation of Jesus in verse 14, who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works
The Amplified bible says it this way, Tell [them all] these things. Urge (advise, encourage, warn) and rebuke with full authority. Let no one despise or disregard or think little of you [conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect].
The Apostle Paul was telling his young preacher boy, Titus, in the midst or in the heart of his letter this great truth. It is definitely something we, as Christians should do as well in our conversations in our Christian life. We have to TELL THEM.
God Bless you, have a great day !!
