IV. The Young Men. (vs:6-8)
A. They are to be sober minded (v:6) Do take Christian life seriously!
B .They are to be characterised by good works (v:7) Verses 7 and 8 are an exhortation to Titus himself. He is to be an example to the young men around him. From Paul’s words we see the Lord’s requirements of young men.
C . They are to be sound in doctrine (v:7) – that is ,to be without error,and this involves hard study – look up 2 Tim. 2:15.
D. They are to be grave (v:7) – serious,and they are to mean business for the Lord.
E. They are to be sincere (v:7). No comment needed!
F. They are to be characterised by sound speech (v:8) – sound means healthy,and this refers to the kind of speech with which no-one can find fault. Be careful about the words and expressions you use!
Young men,this is God’s pattern for you: seek to fit your life into it!
