𝕋𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕤 𝟙:𝟙𝟝

"To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled."

Liberty in Christ but it's to be rich in good works.

 

𝕋𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕤 𝟚:𝟙𝟙-𝟙𝟚

"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,"

To renounce worldly desire!

 

𝕋𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕤 𝟛:𝟙𝟜

"Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful."

Necessity of abundance of good deeds in the Christian life!

 

Bible Reading Reflection from Titus 1-3

[Originally posted in a WhatsApp group (DG) as a daily reading update (reflection) from each chapter of the Bible] 

𝕋𝕀𝕋𝕌𝕊 𝟙:𝟚

"In the hope of eternal life, which the God who cannot lie promised from all eternity"

God never tells lies. His promises, therefore, are sure. Equally, His warnings are sure too.

There's really a heaven and hell too. In doubt, let's make ourselves liars/incompetent/puny, and trust God!

Jesus claims to be the Truth. And He says the devil is the Liar!

 

𝕋𝕀𝕋𝕌𝕊 𝟚:𝟞

"Likewise urge the younger men to be sensible."

Sensible. Young people are stupid, of course. They have to be sensible.

How can we be sensible? Of course, we have to be thinking people.

How can we be thinking people? Of course, we need to have some resources to think about. Maybe books, especially the Bible, and we have to take things seriously. Not to be carefree.

 

𝕋𝕀𝕋𝕌𝕊 𝟛:𝟙

"Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, 𝕋𝕠 𝔹𝕖 ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕪 𝔽𝕠𝕣 𝔼𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪 𝔾𝕠𝕠𝕕 𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕜,"

Hmmm! Not some, but “every”. Can't afford to be choosy. And definitely, never to be lazy.

Let's not be slow to do good work. Let's volunteer to do good work!
