What could God give us to enjoy that would prove Him most loving? There is only one possible answer: Himself! If He withholds Himself from our contemplation and companionship, no matter what else He gives us, He is not loving.

Titus 2

2:1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2:2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

2:3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

2:4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

2:5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

2:6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober-minded;

2:7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

2:8 and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

2:9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

2:10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

2:12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

2:13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

2:14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

2:15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
