Living a Godly Life

Key Passages

About this Chapter

Titus 3 teaches us about the importance of living a godly life and how our behavior should reflect our faith in Christ. The key verse in this chapter is Titus 3:5, which says, 'He 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.' This verse reminds us that our salvation is not based on our own good works, but on God's mercy and grace. In the preceding verses, Paul instructs Titus to remind the believers to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, and to slander no one. He emphasizes the importance of living in a way that is honorable and respectful to others, so that our faith may not be discredited. Paul also reminds the believers of their past sinful lives and how they have been transformed by the grace of God. He encourages them to avoid foolish controversies and arguments, as they are unprofitable and worthless. Instead, they should focus on doing good deeds and living in a way that is pleasing to God.
