The gospel is our daily instructor. We should understand that the gospel is not just some theoretical, pie-in-the-sky, by-and-by notion. But rather the gospel has implication and importance for all of life. God intends for the gospel to be more to us than a formula for being saved from the wrath of God and the pains of hell. It is also the way of life that brings glory to God and comfort to his people everyday.

In Titus 2:11-12 the Scriptures remind us of this truth, that is, the practical importance of the gospel of grace. It states:
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

According to this passage, the gospel not only brings us salvation, but graciously teaches us how to live in light of that salvation. It teaches us to serve, love, and glorify God in our everyday lives. It reminds us that we are saved and thus we should live like it. Our lives should be marked out by self-control, uprightness, and righteous, Christ-honoring living. We should see the gospel as so precious, as so delightful, as accomplishing such a wonderful salvation for us, that we not only desire to tell others about it, but we desire for it to have the preeminent place in our lives. My salvation is the most important thing in my life. And my life should say so.
