Writing Titus 3
Good morning. The last chapter in this little letter from Paul to Titus. In these last 15 verses of this letter, Paul wants Titus to remind the people how they should act and to remind them who they once were and how they were treated. Sometimes I can forget who I was before, and the things I experienced before. I need a reminder of how I felt in those moments before I was a Christian. And I need to remember that others have these feelings now. I need to remember when I was foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions, and pleasures, passing my days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating others. I need to remember where I was and where others still are. Why?
Because of this:
“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
I am not any better than anyone else, I am a Christian because of the Lord, not because of me. You can be one too. No matter where you are now.
God is so Good!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!
