Titus is all about knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. It’s important then to understand what “the truth” is in Titus. The truth in Titus is made very clear in a number of purple passages about the nature of the gospel. Here’s one of them:
3:3At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:3-7)
Jesus saves. We don’t save ourselves. Jesus deals with sin. Jesus brings Salvation.
“because of his mercy”
Amen
amen amen.
