Titus 2

 

Titus is directed to teach sound doctrine and guide various groups within the church in how to live godly lives. Older men are to be temperate, worthy of respect, and self-controlled. Older women are to live reverently and train younger women to love their families and live pure, kind, and submissive lives. Young men are urged to be self-controlled, and Titus himself is called to be an example in integrity, seriousness, and sound speech. Slaves are instructed to be trustworthy and respectful, so that the teaching about God will be attractive to others. Paul reminds all believers that the grace of God has appeared with a tremendous promise of redemption and salvation, teaching disciples to say no to ungodliness and to live upright lives as we await Christ’s return.

 

Christians are reminded that sound teaching is not only about knowledge but also about how we live each day and reflect Jesus in relationships. We are part of a community where each generation matters, and we are responsible for guiding, encouraging, and modeling godliness for one another. Our conduct should reflect the grace we have received, showing the world a different way: one marked by self-control, love, and integrity. We do not live for ourselves alone; our words and actions shape how others see Christ. God's grace saves and purifies us, but also trains us in good works. As we wait for Christ's return, we must live purposefully, rejecting what is empty and clinging to what is good and eternal.

 

Merciful Lord, we thank You for the grace that not only saves us but also teaches us how to live faithfully. Shape our hearts to value what is true and to walk in a way that honors You. Help us to be examples of love, purity, and self-control in every season of life. Let us guide one another with wisdom and humility, building a community that protects and edifies. Teach us to say no to what is empty and yes to what is holy. As we wait for Christ’s return, may our lives be marked by gratitude and zeal.  

 

Thought Questions:

 

What are the “things which are fitting for sound doctrine” in this chapter? How is it focused on relationships and the treatment of others?

 

Why is it important for younger and older Christians to spend time together? Is this intergenerational relationship-building important to you?

 

How has the grace of God changed your life? What has God done for you, and what expectations does He have for your life in Christ?
