ADORN THE DOCTRINE OF GOD

Titus 2:9-10

Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

Personal Challenge

We do not have bondservants and masters in most of our lives, so these verses may be a little difficult to understand. We do, however, have situations in our lives where we must be subservient to others. Employees and their employers. Children and parents. Students and teachers. And many more when you really think about it. We can apply this instruction in all of these cases. As Christians striving to be like Christ, we must be obedient to those in authority over us. Be well pleasing in our relationship with them. Do not talk back. Do not pilfer from them. Do all that we do in good fidelity. And why do we do this? So that we can add to the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Glory be to God!.
