I hope to show in this message that every church in every age has those who live for tradition rather than truth, and the effects are devastating for church and society, but a Gospel Church declares their godliness in good works so that God is glorified.
A world without the Word of God is disordered and destructive at all levels. Order only comes when God is given His rightful place at all levels of society.
No church is ever complete, because it is a part of the Church Universal which will only be perfect when Christ returns, but each church is to defend and declare the truth, raising its own leaders appropriate to its setting committed to Scripture.
Life has to be understood as part of eternity and lived in the presence of God and the light of Scripture. As human beings (young and old) we are responsible beings.
Focussing on the opening verse of Titus I want us to see that as Christians we live for God and others so that the Truth might make us all godly.
The Christian Message is not a call to reach a goal, but a revelation of a provision. The Lord Jesus Christ has provided and revealed the full sufficiency of God’s saving love, which is available to people of all nations.
The Bible not only teaches us what to believe, but it also teaches us how to live. When we live according to Bible truth we live in fellowship with one another and support one another giving glory to God.
