A recap of some scriptures mainly from the short Book of Titus on being a people, ‘eager to do what is Good’. Titus 2:14
8 Rather, he (an elder) must be HOSPITABLE (unexpected first qualification), one who LOVES WHAT IS GOOD, Titus 1:8
Elders, those in leadership, must Love what is Good. It should be a visible quality in their lives.
In 2 Timothy 3:3, Paul’s previous letter, he said that in the Last Days people would not be Lovers of Good nor of God. Loving the Good is a protection for us in these times!
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, … but TO TEACH WHAT IS GOOD. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 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 (the people we meet daily read our lives). Titus 2
Older women are regarded as ‘Knowledge Keepers’ in some societies and Paul urged here that they should guide the younger women in their way of life. Godly Women are a safe guide for younger ones and can certainly help many in the Body of Christ.
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 IN EVERYTHING SET THEM AN EXAMPLE BY DOING WHAT IS GOOD. (OUR LIVES ARE OPEN BOOKS READ BY ALL) … so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. Titus 2
Derek and Ruth Prince used Titus 2:11-14 as a spoken Proclamation over their lives and in ministry;
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.
7 When ·people live so that they please the Lord [people’s paths DRAW THE LORD’S FAVOUR]
even their enemies will make peace with them. Proverbs 16 EXB
Walking in God’s ways will Draw His Favour and manifold blessings upon our lives and even our enemies will live at peace with us. Hallelujah
14 Our people MUST LEARN TO DEVOTE themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3
We must ‘Learn to do what is pleasing to God/Live for Him’, and not to continue in the ways we’ve been conditioned to by this world system and it’s values.
