Titus 3:1-3:7

What A Difference Grace Makes

As We continue our study, we consider how grace changes us, giving the ability to do the right thing and enjoying it, in place of sinful thoughts and behavior. By nature, we resent authority, and yet we can be model citizens, maligning no one and showing every consideration for each other. Through King Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel, we look at pridefulness verses true humility and the foolishness of human nature that resists the authority of God. We lack nothing as the Holy Spirit renews us day by day.

  1. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
  2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
  3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
  4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
  5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
  6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
  7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
