In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at Paul’s connection between godliness (God-likeness) and the Gospel. According to Jesus, the Gospel has been deposited in our hearts and when it is deposited in good soil, it will reveal itself by producing good fruit. In his letters to Timothy and Titus, Paul continuously calls the church to guard the deposit of the Gospel. He calls the church to stay rooted in the Gospel in order to produce the good fruit of godliness. The Gospel is where Christians find the humility to gracefully walk through victories, the grace to wash over failures, and the strength to face adversity and suffering. Has the grace of God been planted in your heart? Has the Gospel become a well of life from which your soul draws from daily? Consider setting aside 15 minutes a day to meditate on the Word and let it soak into who you are.
