Titus 3 documents the radical transformation of the believer through the 'washing of regeneration' and the subsequent duty to be profitable to society. This chapter emphasizes that while salvation is entirely by mercy, it must produce a life dedicated to 'necessary uses' and civic excellence.
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Witness how the mercy of God replaces our former foolishness with a desire to excel in every good work. Begin your study with titus 3 summary.
