Live 4 The LORD

JESUS’ Redeemed people are to:

Be obedient 

Be ready for every good deed

Slander no one

Not be contentious 

Gentle

Be considerate 

Because we also used to be foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 

BUT GOD when we experienced the kindness of Jesus our Savior, (we believed and received) in His Mercy, He poured out on us the regeneration and renewal from the Holy Spirit

Being Justified by Grace we are heirs in Hope of eternal life

Because we believe we are to engage in good deeds (not to earn, but as a response of deep love and gratitude)

Titus 3:1-8

Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to slander no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing every consideration for all people. For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He richly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This statement is trustworthy; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and beneficial for people.
