For Friday, October 21, 2022:
Titus 1:1-2 TLB: “From: Paul, the slave of God and the messenger of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to bring faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know God’s truth—the kind of truth that changes lives—so that they can have eternal life, which God promised them before the world began—and he cannot lie.”
As Christians, what is our overall goal? I believe it’s to spend eternity in the presence of our Creator God. We call it heaven!
We have been given the gift of salvation through our faith in God’s Son, Jesus the Messiah, so Paul’s mission becomes one of strengthening that faith. He does so by teaching God’s truth, something we all need to understand. Knowing God’s truth can result in a radical transformation of lives – a change for the better! That all sounds like what most churches and pastors aspire to nowadays – teach truth, strengthen faith and encourage believers! From the very beginning, God hoped everyone would repent and return. His desire is that none would perish. He truly wants us all to come home!
God made the promise of eternal life to all who would believe, and God cannot lie!
