Titus 2 Review

Today review Titus 2.

Titus 2

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

What Must Be Taught to Various Groups

2 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. ² Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
³ Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. ⁴ Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, ⁵ to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
⁶ Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. ⁷ In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness ⁸ and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
⁹ Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, ¹⁰ and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
¹¹ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. ¹² It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ¹³ while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ¹⁴ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
¹⁵ These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

For the weekend, spend your days reviewing any of the previous chapters that you are your toughest ones to remember.  On Monday we will review Titus 3.

Titus 2:14

Titus 2:14
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Who gave himself for us?
Why?
What are we to be eager to do?
Why do you think we should be eager to do so?

Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13
while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,


What are we waiting for?  
What are we supposed to be doing while we're waiting?
Are you doing that in your life today?

Titus 2:12

Today is Tuesday, so start off by reviewing Titus 1.


Titus 2:12
It teaches us to say "no" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

What teaches us to say "no" to the world's passions?

What teaches us self-control?

Why do we want to live upright and godly lives?

Yesterday's verse and today's go together.

Don't forget to meditate on what you're memorizing - don't just memorize for the sake of memorizing.  Let these words penetrate your soul.

Titus 2:11

Today is Monday so start off by reviewing Psalm 1.


Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

Review the first 10 verses before moving on to today's verse.  It's a shorter one today!

Meditate on what the verse is saying.

Who does God's grace apply to?

How do we see God's grace displayed?

Titus 2:10

and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Saviour attractive.

Begin your day with God. Don`t miss a single day.  Review while you do other things.

Wake up to a new day eager for more of God's truth. Go over your seven verses.


Can you see God's character in the things He commands for us?


Today's verse gives a why for the previous verse. Our reputation depends on our obedience.


But how can we obey if we don't know? That's why we're learning God's instructions.


Learn God's Word so that those who oppose you will have nothing bad to say.


Let this verse be a prayer to God to build in you an impeccable character and a sterling reputation so that God will be exalted by your life. He wants to honour that kind of prayer.


Say your verses over and over.

Keep reviewing throughout the day. Learn to recite Scripture while doing other things.


You're up to about forty-five seconds. Try to squeeze in several review times.


Say the words out loud so that you can hear them. This will aid the learning process.  


End your day with God's Word. Don't forget the blessing is in meditating day and night.

Recite today's verse at least ten times while getting ready for the day.


Keep the TV off and review verses instead.


Are you seeing any similarities in Paul's instructions to the different people?  What and why?


Think about what the body of Christ would be like if we all obeyed these instructions.


Keep your mind and heart surrendered to God's thoughts. Is He teaching you something?


Come back at lunch to feast on God's Word. Take every thought captive.


Mundane chores and errands can become joyful when you include Scripture review.


Conclude your day by rehearsing what God is teaching you in His Word.

Titus 2:5

Today is Tuesday, so review Titus 1 today.

Titus 2:5
to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Take the first thirty seconds of your day to review your progress. Then go on to verse 5.


Today's verse is so very practical. Proceed slowly and thoroughly. You don't want to miss a word.


Think about the what, why, and how in these instructions.

Titus 2:4

Titus 2:4
then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,


Get out of bed thinking about God and His invaluable Word. Review your three verses.


Tackle today`s verse, another short one. What is God saying?


Notice the connection to yesterday`s verse.  Today we get the reason behind verse 3.


We hear a lot of talk these days about mentoring. This is where it comes from: Titus.


Keep saying all four verses over and over as you reflect on their meaning.


Are you the younger woman? What are you to be doing? Ask God to enable you.

Titus 2:3

Titus 2:3
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good,

When you awaken, review your first two verses.


Move on to today`s verse. Take it phrase by phrase, or line by line.


Who is this verse about?  If you are not an older woman now, you will be one day.  (Or an older man, and look at yesterday`s verse again!)


Think about the way women should behave, and why. What should they not do?


Make this verse a plea to God for yourself and others you know.


Think and meditate on God`s reasons behind this instruction to Titus.

Titus 2:2

Titus 2:2
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

When your alarm goes off, give your first thoughts to yesterday`s verse. Have you got it?

Today`s verse is longer, so take it phrase by phrase.

Work on it while you are getting dressed, making coffee, and eating breakfast.

Ask yourself questions. Who is Titus supposed to be teaching? What is he to teach them?

Why do older men need these qualities? Think about their roles in society and in a church.

Define the words that describe what the older man should be.

Titus 2:1

Today we begin our memory work on Titus 2.

Titus 2:1
You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.

Begin with verse 1. It`s so short, you should have it down before you get out of the shower.


Think about what the verse is saying, who said it and to whom.


Ask yourself, What is sound doctrine? What is not sound doctrine?


Review and meditate on each word. Is this verse also applicable to mothers (or fathers) teaching their children?


Make this verse a prayer to God that you will teach what is in accord with sound doctrine.


Reflect on the word must. What if Titus does not teach what is in accord with sound doctrine?  What if you do not?


Ask God to teach you sound doctrine through your time in the book of Titus.
