TITUS 3:1-8...
1/ Remind them to be under the control of magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be open to every good enterprise.
2/ They are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising all graciousness toward everyone.
3/ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.
4/ But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared,
5/ not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,
6/ whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior,
7/ so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.
8/ This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these points, that those who have believed in God be careful to devote themselves to good works; these are excellent and beneficial to others...
"That those who have believed in *GOD*, be careful to DEVOTE themselves to GOOD WORKS"!!!
Good works includes all of the components of LOVE, such as compassion, kindness, charity, forgiveness, sharing, caring, and, forebearance, as well as EVIDENT characteristics, marked by VIRTUE, and, a tendency towards HOLINESS; not that ANY of us will become perfect, no, that is not the case, but, that we grow so in LOVE with *GOD*, that HE IS OUR ROLE MODEL, and, our FOCUS!!!
We are not conforming to the laws, instead, to CHRIST, our LORD, *GOD*, and, SAVIOUR, as it IS expected that HIS Children be as HIM, and, comply to LOVE, which covers most areas of compliance, because in the state of HOLY LOVE, we do nothing outside of what is wholesomely good, and, if, by chance, we falter, in that state of LOVE, we KNOW HOW to pick ourselves up, repenting, and, correcting, that the fruits of our branches, do not become tainted, thus, worthless to the WHOLE, which is CHRIST!!!
