Titus 2 Study & Commentary
Titus 2 provides practical instructions for different age groups and social roles within the church. Paul explains that the "grace of God that bringeth salvation" teaches us to deny ungodliness and to live soberly while looking for the "blessed hope."
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Doctrine in Daily Life: Aged men, aged women, young women, and young men all have specific callings (v. 2-6). Our theology must translate into how we treat our families and conduct our daily business.2. The Training Power of Grace: Grace is not a license to sin; it "teaches us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly" (v. 11-12). True grace produces a "peculiar people, zealous of good works."
3. The Blessed Hope: We live in the tension of the "now" and the "not yet," looking for the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ (v. 13). This expectation is the engine of our sanctification.
