Remember Good Works

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. (Titus 3:8) Some people like to claim that the Bible contradicts itself. Most of these claims are fairly silly, and […]

Erinnere dich an Seine großartige Errettung

Als aber die Freundlichkeit und Menschenliebe Gottes, unseres Retters, erschien, da hat er uns – nicht um der Werke willen, die wir getan hätten, sondern aufgrund seiner Barmherzigkeit – errettet durch das Bad der Wiedergeburt und durch die Erneuerung des Heiligen Geistes. (Titus 3,4-5) Die ersten beiden Worte in Titus 3 sind „erinnere sie“, und […]

Remember His Great Salvation

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. (Titus 3:4-5) The first two words of Titus 3 are, “remind them,” and I […]

Erinnere dich daran, wie du früher warst

Denn auch wir waren einst unverständig, ungehorsam, gingen in die Irre, dienten mannigfachen Lüsten und Vergnügungen, lebten in Bosheit und Neid, verhasst und einander hassend.

Remember What You Used to Be

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. (Titus 3:3) In Paul’s letter to Titus, this is a section of reminders. Paul wanted Titus to remind the Christians under his teaching and leadership of how to live the Christian life […]

Erinnere dich daran, wie man leben soll

Erinnere sie, dass sie sich den Regierenden und Obrigkeiten unterordnen und gehorsam sind, zu jedem guten Werk bereit; dass sie niemand verlästern, nicht streitsüchtig sind, sondern gütig, indem sie allen Menschen gegenüber Sanftmut erweisen. (Titus 3,1-2) Der Kern eines christlichen Lebens ist das, was Gott für uns in Jesus Christus getan hat. Dieses im Glauben […]

Remember How to Live

Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. (Titus 3:1-2) The core of the Christian life is what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. Receiving by faith […]
