#soap # Titus 02 ## Title: The Purpose is Freedom ## Scripture: (Titus 2:14) “He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.” (NET) ## Observation: I love this. Why would God do all He did? Why would He come to this Earth, become human like us, live among us, die on OUR Cross, and Rise again? It was all for our freedom from sin. When my girls were little and they would be sick, I first began to understand this. I would see them struggling to breathe, sniffling, and just plain miserable. I would tell them that, if I could, I would take their sickness away. I meant it too. Even if I had to be sick instead. This is just the beginning of trying to wrap our heads around how amazing the grace of God truly is toward us. The LORD saw us suffering and had the power to take it away… So He did. Now, we cannot earn it. We can only receive it. ## Application: Receive the free gift of God’s salvation. If we have received it, spend time thinking about how amazing it is. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for setting us free from all the sin we have collected.
