"It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age" - Titus 2:12 (NIV)
Greedy people are
never satisfied with what they have. So Paul reminds the people to rely on
God's grace (11). Grace educates people to be able to convert, be sincere, and
loyal to God. When we receive saving grace, there will be a strong impulse
within us to leave the way of life that is against God and to distance
ourselves from the way of life that is full of greed.
The
more grace of God touches our hearts, the deeper realization of our sin is. The
deeper realization of our sin, the great our thanksgiving is to God for saving
us. The bigger debt that you've been relieved of, the more you're
thankful.
Let's examine ourselves. Have we received God's saving grace? If so, let us leave sin and make a commitment to live a new life in Christ.
