Live As Responsible Persons

Hello! and happy good Tuesday to all of us, GUYS.  Our "food for the soul" today:

THE GOOD NEWS (08 November 2016)
"For the grace of GOD has appeared, bringing salvation to all, teaching us to reject an irreligious way of life and worldly greed, and to live in this world as responsible persons, upright and serving GOD, while we await our blessed hope - the glorious manifestation of our great GOD and Savior CHRIST JESUS.  HE gave HIMSELF for us, to redeem us from every evil and to purify a people HE wanted to be HIS own and dedicated to what is good." -  Titus 2:11-14 

(GOD Savior has revealed HIS loving plan to all.  Here Paul returns to the essence of the Christian message: it is a gift of GOD and so it must produce the fruits of goodness and reconciliation and draw people away from the self-centeredness which paralyzes them.

HE gave HIMSELF for us. As in Ephesians 5:25 and 1 Corinthians 11:25, JESUS sacrifice is primarily to purify those who become HIS people.  In fact, it is by looking at JESUS that, little by little, we let go of what is evil and violent in us.

Teaching us to reject an irreligious way of life.  GOD brings us to purify our motives and our hearts.
- Responsible, because the practice of Christian living brings us to a more serious attitude.
- Just with others by being primarily just with GOD.
Serving GOD: this means first of all being sincere with GOD.
