May 30, 2021 AM, Titus 1:1-4.
Paul is a servant and apostle whose goal is to see God’s elect come to
faith and knowledge of the truth. This is founded upon the hope of
eternal life which God has promised, and He cannot lie. The
promise was made from eternity past, but has been manifested at
just the right time through the vehicle of preaching. To Paul this
preaching was entrusted according to the command of God our
Savior. May you desire to live with the same kind of purpose as Paul—to help people be saved, sanctified and glorified. Furthermore, may you be
one who can be called a “true child according to the standard of
the commonly received Christian faith.” Simultaneously, you
yourself need to be being sanctified so that your life reflects
godliness. Finally, may God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ
grant you grace, mercy, and peace.
Our Scripture reading was found in Isaiah 54:1-17.
