“Titus 2”

Saturday, August 12, 2017

As a local church grows and develops, one of the important aspects of securing the future is the handing down of the faith from one generation to the next. It is like the passing of the baton in a relay race or like Elijah passing his “mantle” of prophecy on to Elisha. It is the responsibility of the older generation to pass “sound doctrine” on to the younger disciples.

The second section of chapter two emphasizes that God’s grace and salvation are available universally. God “desires all men to be saved” (1 Timothy 2:4) and His grace as shown in the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ is extended to all people. But in order to be saved, everyone must obey the Lord, including putting away all ungodliness and seeking to live a pure and holy life.

Outline

• Verses 1-10 – the older teaching the younger
• Verses 11-15 – the grace of God
