The Gospel : 1PAUL, A bond servant of God and an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) to stimulate and promote the faith of God's chosen ones and to lead them on to accurate discernment and recognition of and acquaintance with the Truth which belongs to and harmonizes with and tends to godliness, 2[Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began.
3And [now] in His own appointed time He has made manifest (made known) His Word and revealed it as His message through the preaching entrusted to me by command of God our Savior;
4To Titus, my true child according to a common (general) faith: Grace (favor and spiritual blessing) and [heart] peace from God the Father and the Lord Christ Jesus our Savior.
5For this reason I left you [behind] in Crete, that you might set right what was defective and finish what was left undone, and that you might appoint elders and set them over the churches (assemblies) in every city as I directed you.
6[These elders should be] men who are of unquestionable integrity and are irreproachable, the husband of [but] one wife, whose children are [well trained and are] believers, not open to the accusation of being loose in morals and conduct or unruly and disorderly.
7For the bishop (an overseer) as God's steward must be blameless, not self-willed or arrogant or presumptuous; he must not be quick-tempered or given to drink or pugnacious (brawling, violent); he must not be grasping and greedy for filthy lucre (financial gain);
8But he must be hospitable (loving and a friend to believers, especially to strangers and foreigners); [he must be] a lover of goodness [of good people and good things], sober-minded (sensible, discreet), upright and fair-minded, a devout man and religiously correct, temperate and keeping himself in hand.
9He must hold fast to the sure and trustworthy Word of God as he was taught it, so that he may be able both to give stimulating instruction and encouragement in sound (wholesome) doctrine and to refute and convict those who contradict and oppose it [showing the wayward their error].
10For there are many disorderly and unruly men who are idle (vain, empty) and misleading talkers and self-deceivers and deceivers of others. [This is true] especially of those of the circumcision party [who have come over from Judaism].
11Their mouths must be stopped, for they are mentally distressing and subverting whole families by teaching what they ought not to teach, for the purpose of getting base advantage and disreputable gain.
12One of their [very] number, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, hurtful beasts, idle and lazy gluttons.
13And this account of them is [really] true. Because it is [true], rebuke them sharply [deal sternly, even severely with them], so that they may be sound in the faith and free from error,
14[And may show their soundness by] ceasing to give attention to Jewish myths and fables or to rules [laid down] by [mere] men who reject and turn their backs on the Truth.
15To the pure [in heart and conscience] all things are pure, but to the defiled and corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are defiled and polluted.
16They profess to know God [to recognize, perceive, and be acquainted with Him], but deny and disown and renounce Him by what they do; they are detestable and loathsome, unbelieving and disobedient and disloyal and rebellious, and [they are] unfit and worthless for good work (deed or enterprise) of any kind.
Insights In The Readings: The blessing of God's " Grace" Which our Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ is for us very great news! This is especially true because God offers it to us freely even though we just don't deserve it. The good news goes way beyond God's offer to pay for our sins; our God seeks transforms us so that we can live day by day with the reality of His power inside us. We don't need to be afraid as we come before God, regardless of our sinful past or our failures. Our realtionship with God is not based on our success at following His laws. It is based on His precious provisions for the forgivness of our sins - Jesus Christ. As we entrust our lives unto Him, he forgives us and empowers ua to live accordingly to His perfect will. This give us a special idenity with Him We give Him our dreams, goals, that will be valued alway's in God Himself to lead us more deeply in one's expressions as we intended to be a vital piece of God's ministry in those satisfaction and peace in all ways we totally value life. God lays down our identifies everyone in return that bless whom are the recipient for they are compassionate, committed, faithful unto service - Slave to a master in one's own submission to the will of God as we serve him in our lives daily. By being focused of one's own purpose, salvation and spiritual growth of all others whom He sends unto us in all hope in one's having been developed in spiritual maturity in Jesus Christ. So all will have a sovereign choice and preservation of a people before our God. We whom have the calling in sharing the Gospel in us belonging to God. In which truth abounds of it's truths, rational decisions about the Gospel. Some have been in the ministry and have had false teachers which does lead to all ungodlessness, in turn we ought to see if they are really geniune in being balanced life whom had correction of orderly knowledge of God in every single part of a person own life. In planting seeds of faith, strong and mature, hopeful fruitful christian in having an eternal life . Being grounded in God's Promises not on human promises that fails us as being human beings.
