Last Friday’s post contained a gospel message from Titus 3.3-7. Right after those verses (see Titus 3.8-11), Paul presents a short list of appropriate actions for those who have believed.

The actions include

–          Trust the gospel message

–          Insist on understanding the gospel

–          Avoid foolish discussions about:

• o   Controversies
• o   Genealogies
• o   Dissensions
• o   Quarrels about the law

–          Warn and then avoid a person who stirs up division

It is interesting that, as an echo of Titus 3.5 – he saved us, not because of works done by us – verse 8 has believing in God coming before devotion to good works.
