Thought 129
A Peculiar People
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.”– Titus 2:11-15 NIV
Are you a peculiar person? Read this passage 3 times, slowly. While doing so, ask God to reveal the truth of this verse to you and listen for His gentle Spirits voice. (It might help to contemplatively write the verse down as well.)
