Titus 3

Doing Good for the Sake of

Gospel

TITUS 2:1-15

1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

TITUS 2:1-15

3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,

TITUS 2:1-15

5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

TITUS 2:1-15

7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

TITUS 2:1-15

9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

TITUS 2:1-15

11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,

TITUS 2:1-15

13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

TITUS 2:1-15

15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

TITUS 1:16

16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Not all good are godly.

Godly manners are when it is written in the Bible but good

manners are when it is perceived by the

world.

Jews have the Mosaic laws of more than 100,000 plus Then

reduce it to 10 commandments then the Lord Jesus Christ

reduce it to 2; Loving God and Loving people.

Paul here emphasize two things:

• We must know what we believe in.

• We must know how to live on what we

believe in.

Without purpose in life, there is no

direction.

Paul’s advises on how to treat

or deal with different people.

presence in his heart, mind and life. He lives

for God’s purpose.

Only by staying close to the Lord will the

Lord’s presence in your life make you excel in

what you do.

It doesn’t mean he impresses people with

what position he has or what

possessions he has but by his person.

Self-control means self-discipline,

sensible.

A self-controlled man is a man who restrains

his thoughts and desires for the purpose

of pleasing God.

Sound in faith means right teaching and error free. It is the

right belief that thoroughly influenced by the truth of God.

Right perspectives enable

us to right responses.
