He
Gave His Life
To
Free Us
From
Every Kind Of Sin
Scripture
Titus
2
14
He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us,
and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good
deeds.
Observation
One
of the things that kept Kathy's Dad from coming to church, and giving
his life to Jesus at an earlier age (he was saved at 67) was the
inconsistent life style of some Christians.
Some
of those were even so called “leaders” in the church, yet he saw
what they were doing during the week and their hypocrisy pushed him
away from Christ.
Are
we drawing people to Jesus by the way we live or are we pushing
people away because of our sinful lifestyles?
Jesus
gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and
to make us His very own people.
Let's
not be a stumbling block to those around us. People are watching!
They are watching to see if we are for real! Let's not disappoint
them!
Don't
kid yourself! It is not a secret what we do during the week between
Sundays!
Word gets around! People talk!

Corinthians 8
9
But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others
with a weaker conscience to stumble.
Ephesians
5
15
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those
who are wise.
1
Peter 2:12
12
Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then
even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable
behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.
Application
I
will be careful how I live! How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, when I read this passage I immediately thought of some men
who tried and some who are still trying to live with one foot in the
world and one foot half way committed to You. I pray that they will
stop living like fools and I pray that they will totally commit their
lives to Jesus Christ. Don't let them be stumbling blocks for the
people around them. Help them to be 100% committed to You.
