Show Notes

Today’s episode reflects on Titus 3:1-8, in which Paul instructs Titus to teach believers in Crete to live in a way that honors God both in the church and in society. Paul emphasizes submission to authority, kindness, and a spirit of gentleness, which contrast with the rebellious culture of the time. He reminds believers that they were once disobedient and lost but were saved by God's mercy through the cleansing and renewing work of the Holy Spirit.

 

Paul underscores that salvation is not achieved by human effort but is a gift from God, made possible through Jesus Christ. Believers are justified by grace and are called to become heirs of eternal life, motivated by this hope to live lives marked by good deeds. The passage encourages Christians to live in humility, reflecting the love and grace of God to the world around them.

 

Ultimately, this passage calls believers to embrace the transformative power of God's grace, which compels us to good works and godly conduct. It is a reminder that our lives should be a testament to the mercy we have received, reflecting the character of Christ in our interactions with others and in our submission to the will of God.
