What should we be looking forward to as we enter a new year?
If we're supposed to be "devoted to good works," we should know what they are, and what will produce them in our lives.
How the gospel changes everything.
If Jesus is the king, how do we live under the authority of human governments? Is there ever a time to choose between obeying them and obeying Jesus?
Gospel living for older and younger women.
If grace is training us to live godly lives, why do pastors like Titus need to get involved?
Children are not the only people who need to know "why." Before we can understand the "what" of Titus 2:1-10, we must embrace the "why" of vv. 11-15.
The gospel really does change everything—transforming rebellious Cretans into mature and godly Christian leaders. What about us?
It is impossible to truly believe the gospel and not be transformed by it. The letter to Titus, from it's opening verses, helps us understand how this dynamic works.
Being in Christ means that we’ve been given a whole new definition of “work.” Work is no longer a thing we have to do to pay the bills. Instead, we have this new category, “good works” which are to fill up our whole life.
