Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
A godly person’s faith speaks through the way he or she lives. It is more than knowing about the Bible stories or attending church; it is a life that is changed by Jesus. How many holy people do you know? I know one. I’m married to her. Her joy, her actions, and her speech all point to her relationship with God. God has changed her life, and she lives as a new creation. After burning incense, when the priest came out of the temple, you could smell the incense in his garments. I know people like that: You just sense there’s something about their presence that points to a relationship with God. There’s a perfume of God in their lives. That is how we are called to live. Has your life been impacted by your relationship with God to that level? Has He changed your lifestyle? Has he changed your speech? This level of change is not just for the spiritual elite. It is the change that should happen in the life of every believer. Has your faith in Christ changed the way you live? What areas have not been impacted by your faith? Who has been an example for you of how a life can be changed by faith? Thank someone who has been an example of faith to you and ask for insight on how to grow in living out one’s faith.
