PAUL WROTE TO TITUS WHO WAS A TRUSTED PASTOR IN CRETE Paul emphasized in this letter several themes: Gods choosing of people Gods grace toward people Christ being God and that Christ will return Christssacrificeonthecrossandwhatis accomplished Peoples awareness of life in Christ Our passage today is beautiful because of what it reveals about Gods love. Our passage is everyday truth we should review often. Whowewerebefore Christ: Our conduct, our depraved mind and how dumb we were... Foolish Disobedient Deceived Enslaved Malice Envy Hateful WhenGodskindnessappearedandwhatChrist accomplished is awesome! Salvation Mercy Righteousness Regeneration Renewing Holy Spirit Grace Heirs Hope of eternal life God wants us reminded often of our high calling. Be careful Be engaging Be what people need it glorifies God. THOUGHTS FOR THE ROAD Remember to preach the gospel to yourself every day. Remember in Christ you are a new creation. Remember blessings never come before obedience.
