Titus 2:12
12]teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
Grace trains us to live sensibly, righteously, and Godly in this present age.
It is not enough to say no to ungodliness and worldly desires. You must also say yes to sensible, righteous, godly living. Amid this present evil age, we are to live sensible, righteous, godly lives, so that those in the world will be drawn to our Savior. Many commentators have pointed out that sensibly refers to how you are to control yourself; righteously has reference to your relationships with others; and, godly refers to your relationship with God.
This is the word that we have repeatedly encountered in Titus (1:8; 2:2, 4, 5, 6), which means, living in a self-controlled manner, not yielding to various passions and impulses. It is synonymous with the last of the fruits of the Spirit, which is self-control. This refers to a life of integrity and uprightness in your dealings with others. It means conforming to God’s standards of conduct, as revealed in the commandments of His Word.
Prayer
Heavenly Father we pray that we live righteous lives in Jesus' name, Amen.
