The Righteous Life--Titus 3:1-11

My main focus on my Christ journey is mercy and grace. Rather than judging non-believers, I seek to embrace them. I oppose any teaching of "Good Christians." That term festers the idea of legalism--"To be a good Christian you must...."

But, what does a Christian life look like? How are we to live righteously? I know we cannot life such a life on our own. As sinners, we will fail every time. But Christ taught about being the light. How can a believer live and teach righteousness without being legalistic?

Read Titus Chapter 3. We are to live with with the "hope of eternal life." We should "maintain good works" not because we want to look good, but to serve Christ. We are not to be caught in "foolish disputes" at church, but we are to "reject a divisive man" when he acts self-righteous.

Meditate on these thoughts. How are we to live a righteous life before men without trying to get attention? How are we to rebuke sinners at church? How are we to live?

God Bless,
