The free offer is available, will you accept it?

So today you are given the opportunity to hear an offer. What’s more, the offer is to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. As a result, will you accept the free offer? Furthermore, what is being offered is salvation through the grace and love of God. Therefore, the choice is how we will respond with our free will. Equally important, it will make a difference and help us to be the dads God created and purpose for us to be.

Today’s Verse of the Day:

Let’s expand on this more and finish the thought:

‘For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age, awaiting and confidently expecting the [fulfillment of our] blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good. ‘

Titus 2:11-14

How to respond to the offer of remarkable and underserved grace:

Firstly, let’s be the dads who accept the offer of salvation through Jesus by God’s grace. Secondly, let’s be the dads who reject ungodliness and immoral desires, and learn from salvation’s lessons. Thirdly, let’s be the dads who receive this offer and live sensible, upright, and godly lives reflecting maturity. Fourthly, let’s be the dads who expect the fulfillment of our blessed hope in Christ Jesus. Finally, let’s be the dads who have a living relationship with Christ Jesus and enthusiastically do good.

Today’s verse of the day is a powerful truth and one we need to accept and walk forward in to be the dads.

Here are some ways to apply today’s verse of the day to be the dads our wives, kids, and the world need us to be:
