Titus 3:12-15

 

Final Instructions and Greetings

When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.   Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing.   And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.

All who are with me, send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.

Grace be with you all.


Finial instructions: do whatever is in your ability to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ. do so.  Be about the truth, be about kindness and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in your giving and ministry.  


Go back and often read, Titus chapter 3, and especially verses 3-7, For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.   But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,  he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,  whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
