Doing What is Good

titus 3:1-8

titus 3:8

Those who have trusted in God should be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. 

Are Christians merely “do-gooders” basking in their own self-righteousness? Not according to the Apostle Paul. In these final remarks to titus, he explains the steps to salvation and service.  

1.  Desire                          v1-2

*  To be responsible

*  To be peaceable           Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 

2.  Dilemma                       v3

*  We are sinful

*  We are enslaved           Romans 7:18-25 

3.  Deliverance                  v4-6

*  God's love and mercy

*  Spirit's rebirth and renewal

*  Son's saving grace        Romans 5:6-8 

4.  Destiny             v7-8

*  Justified

*  Adopted

*  Devoted                       2 Corinthians 5:17 

Good works don't earn salvation. They are the result of salvation.
