Please read Titus 3.

Meditate on verse 8a.

This is a trustworthy statement, and concerning these things,

I want you to speak confidently….

The trustworthy statement that Titus is to confidently speak is found in verses 4-7, and it says:

But when the kindness of God our Savior

 and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us,

not on the basis of deeds which we have

done in righteousness, but according to His mercy,

 by the washing of regeneration and renewing

 by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon

 us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

 so that being justified by His grace we would be

 made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This is an extraordinary statement because God chose to pour out His kindness, love, and mercy on foolish, disobedient, and hateful people. God saved us and made us His heirs, not based on anything we did, but based solely on the power of the Holy Spirit through the Savior, Jesus Christ (vs. 3-7).

Titus 3:3-8 is your story! Pray it and meditate on it so you can confidently speak it to others.

“LORD, I was once foolish, disobedient,

deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures,

 spending my life in malice and envy, hateful and hating others.

 But, God my Savior, when Your kindness and love for me appeared,

You saved me not on the basis of deeds

which I have done in righteousness,

 but according to Your mercy, by the washing of regeneration

and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom You

 poured out upon me richly through Jesus Christ my Savior,

so that being justified by His grace, I would be made

 Your heir according to the hope of eternal life.

 LORD, help me to speak these things confidently,

 so that others may believe and

 be careful to engage in good deeds.

These things are good and profitable for all people.

For the sake of Your Kingdom, Jesus~”
