Get to Work!

The Word of God is a very practical book. It gives us instructions on every facet of our lives. It is profitable to read, study, hear, and do what the Scriptures say. It is a fountain in a dry wilderness, bread to the hungry soul, light to those who walk in darkness, and truth in a world of lies.

Paul’s little letter to his young protégé wonderfully instructs us on how we are to live the Christian life. What we believe will be exemplified in how we live, in what we do in life. There is no exception to this rule. If you believe it, then you will ultimately live it.

Our text this morning deals with an important aspect of living for God, namely, our work for Him. A few weeks ago, we saw how Paul gave instructions for Christian employees/slaves. However, the work we are referring to this morning is the good work of Christian service to the Lord.

Ask yourself the questions: If everyone in the church worked just like me what kind of church would this be? Are you following the Lord in faithful service to Him? If not, it is time to GET TO WORK. We have a world that needs to be won, we have feeble hands that need to be strengthened, and we have a cause worth fighting for. So, what does Paul tell Titus in regard to our work for the Lord?
