Be Ready: A Study in Titus

DAY 3 OF 3

What does it say?

Paul closed his letter to Titus with a discussion of the will of God, the work of God, a warning from God, and the workers of God.

What does it mean?

Paul reminded Titus that God’s will for believers is to be obedient to authorities and to be gentle and considerate to everyone. Because of God's good work, His followers should always be prepared to do good work for those in need. God warned Titus to avoid controversial issues that could hinder the work of the church. Those stirring up trouble should be dealt with systematically. Paul closed his letter by directing Titus to aid the other workers of God and ensure they have everything they need for their travels.

How should I respond?

God has graciously provided a plan for you to be free from the guilt of sin through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. This gift should be the motivation for all you do and how you live. Are you following God’s will regarding submission to authority, kindness, love for others, and faithfulness to the teachings of Scripture? Your actions and beliefs will determine the health and productivity of your church. Are you currently a help or a hindrance to your church body? Ask God to show you ways to live out these verses today.

About this Plan

Be Ready: A Study in Titus

The last of the pastoral epistles, the book of Titus, was written to help establish elders and churches on the island of Crete. Paul encourages Titus to cultivate both right beliefs through sound doctrine and right behavior through godliness. Titus encourages believers to “be ready for every good work” (Titus 3:1) so that we might show “the goodness and lovingkindness of God our Savior” (Titus 3:4).
