Unleashing Greatness In Your Relationships
15 You must teach these things and encourage the believers to do them. You have the authority to correct them when necessary, so don’t let anyone disregard what you say. Titus 2:15 NLT
1 Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. 2 They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone. 3 Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.
4 But—When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, 5 He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of His grace He made us right in His sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.
8 This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone. 9 Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time. 10 If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. 11 For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them…
Titus 3:1-11 NLT
7 “How To’s” For Unleashing Greatness In Relationships:
18 All of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to Himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to Him. 19 For God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us… 2 Corinthians 5:18-20a NLT
#1: SUBMIT TO and OBEY government authorities.
#2: Live READY to do RANDOM acts of good.
#3: SPEAK BADLY of no one.
23 He did not retaliate when He was insulted, nor threaten revenge when He suffered. He left His case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. 1Peter 2:23 NLT
#4: Be PEACEABLE and CONSIDERATE to everyone.
#5: Act in GENTLENESS toward EVERYONE.
#6: Avoid all FOOLISH controversies.
#7: DEVOTE yourself to what is GOOD for someone else.
14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14 NLT
