This message reveals that once we are saved, we are forever changed, and God wants our new standing and position in Christ to transform our lives by His grace. Titus 3 teaches that Christians should live out this change by submitting to authorities, practicing kindness, and being ready for every good work as a testimony. The Apostle Paul reminds believers of their former lost condition so they will extend grace to others—as our salvation was provided not by our works, but by His mercy, and justification through Christ. Titus is urged to constantly affirm this trustworthy gospel, so that believers remain grounded in grace.
