SCRIPTURE: Titus (NIV) 1:1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—2 a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
OBSERVATION: Here Paul says that our faith and knowledge is “resting” on our hope of eternal life. On what is our hope of eternal life resting? It is resting on the promises of God, WHO DOES NOT LIE!
In this I understand that everything rests on the nature and character of God! God is the originator and sustainer of all things. The better we know and understand God, the better we will know and understand life.
Proverbs (NIV) 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
APPLICATION: I must be continually looking through the scriptures, and in the world in which I live, to learn more of Creator God. There is no possibility of me gaining perfect understanding of the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Eternal Spirit God who is perfectly holy and perfectly loving! The characteristics of His being are ruled only by his moral characteristics. He is eternally holy and eternally loving and is always truthful and working according to His eternal plan. He is far beyond amazing!!! There is always more to learn!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, may the Holy Spirit guide me through this life, revealing through the scriptures, and through the world, Your amazing character. You lovingly sent Your Son, Jesus. to make the holy sacrifice necessary to pay for my sins! I live in honor of what you have done for me. Amen
