Paul concludes his letter to Titus by reminding believers, Do Whatever Is Good that God’s mercy saves, the Holy Spirit renews, and His grace transforms lives. Those who trust in Jesus Christ are called to devote themselves to doing what is good, avoid foolish division, and live in faithful obedience. God’s redemption plan prepares His people for eternal life through lives that reflect His truth and compassion.
Obedience • God’s Covenant • Teaching • Living • Your Future • Being True • Self-Destruction • Redemption Plan • Repentance
📖 Titus 3:1–2
“3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.”
📖 Titus 3:3-5
“3 At 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.”
“4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 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,”
Paul reminds believers to live as faithful citizens who honor authority, obey the law, and eagerly pursue every opportunity to do good.
Followers of Christ are to avoid slander, live peaceably, show consideration for others, and demonstrate gentleness toward everyone.
These qualities reflect a heart transformed by God’s grace. Obedience is not merely outward behavior but the visible fruit of a life surrendered to Jesus Christ.
📖 Titus 3:6–8
“6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.”
Paul reminds believers of who they once were—foolish, disobedient, deceived, and enslaved by sinful desires.
“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared…”
Everything changed.
Salvation did not come because of righteous deeds or human effort. It came solely through God’s mercy. Through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, believers are justified by grace and become heirs of the hope of eternal life.
Because we have received such undeserved grace, we are called to devote ourselves to doing what is good. Good works are the evidence of a transformed life, not the means by which salvation is earned.
📖 Titus 3:9–11
“9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.”
Paul instructs Titus to avoid arguments that produce division rather than spiritual growth.
Foolish controversies, endless disputes, and divisive behavior distract believers from the truth of the Gospel.
Those who continually reject correction and seek to create division reveal hearts that refuse repentance. Their persistent rebellion ultimately becomes self-condemnation because they willingly reject God’s truth.
God desires unity founded upon truth, humility, and faithful obedience.
📖 Titus 3:12–15
“12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.”
“15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.”
Grace be with you all.
As Paul concludes his letter, he encourages believers to support fellow workers in the Gospel and to meet the needs of others generously.
“Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good.”
Faith is lived out through service, generosity, and practical compassion.
Paul closes with words of grace, reminding believers that the Christian life begins, continues, and ends with the grace of God.
Throughout Scripture, God has consistently called His people to lives marked by obedience, mercy, and faithful service.
God’s redemption plan transforms sinners into heirs of eternal life and calls them to become instruments of His goodness in the world.
Believers are called to live peacefully and do what is good.
Salvation is received by God’s mercy, not by human works.
The Holy Spirit renews and transforms every believer.
God’s grace makes us heirs of eternal life.
Good works demonstrate a life changed by Christ.
Foolish arguments and division hinder spiritual growth.
Repentance leads to restoration, while persistent rebellion leads to self-condemnation.
God’s redemption plan calls His people to lives of service, compassion, and faithful obedience.
Titus concludes by reminding believers that God’s mercy, not human effort, is the foundation of salvation. Through Jesus Christ and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit, believers receive new life and the hope of eternity. Having experienced God’s grace, we are called to devote ourselves to doing what is good, serving others with compassion, avoiding division, and living lives that reflect His truth. God’s covenant and redemption plan continue to transform hearts, preparing His people to faithfully serve Him until Christ returns.
