Why The Reminders
Titus 3:8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those that have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Why the reminders? Why is it that Titus was to tell the Cretans to be obey their authorities, to be kind and considerate with humility toward all? Why was it necessary for them to be told again to be on guard for the pleasures and passion of this world? Why did they need to be told again?
Why? Because it is so easy to forget and fall back into the foolishness of the past. Paul said to stress those things, so those who are Christians might devote themselves to doing good!
You see, A and K, proper living is important. Your faith and love for others should grow and grow. How you treat them and how you serve others shows Christ to them. To be counted worthy for the kingdom, your walk must match your talk. You have to act like who you say you are. So remember those ten reminders, and let your life give an accurate picture of who Christ is.
