"Losing Our Religious Works" - Our religious works are in response to God's mercy, not an attempt to gain it.
Titus 3:3-8 ESV
Titus 3:2-8
“Losing Our Religious Works”
Titus had a tough assignment; He was instructed to help the Cretans live exceptional lives that would enrich their community
Titus 1:12-13 One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This testimony is true.
Radical change is a result of encountering the radical grace of Jesus Christ
Radical change begins with people who are broken beyond their ability to repair themselves
“He will not, He cannot, stay away from repentant sinners.” –Jack Miller
People who become radically changed experience the radical grace of Jesus Christ
“The love of God does not find, but creates, that which is pleasing to it.” –Martin Luther
Radical change comes into our lives when we, radical sinners experience the radical grace of God through Jesus Christ
