[2:1] …promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching. [2] Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience.
[6] In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. [7] Note And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. [8] Teach the truth so that your teaching can’t be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us.
Titus 2:1,2, 6-8
It has been said that character is what we are when nobody is watching. If we sincerely wish to walk with God, we must strive, to do the best of our abilities, to follow God’s path and to obey His instructions. In short, we must recognize the importance that integrity should play in our lives. Build your life on the firm foundation of integrity. When you do, you won’t need to look over your shoulder to see who, besides God, is watching.
“Image is what people think we are; integrity is what we really are.” – John Maxwell
“No man can use his Bible with power unless he has the character of Jesus in his heart.” – Alan Redpath
“Integrity is the glue that holds our way of life together. We must constantly strive to keep our integrity intact. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” – Billy Graham
Let me be a person of integrity, Lord, and let my words and deeds be a testimony to You, today and always, Amen.
