What a blessing it was for me to stumble on this lesson of Titus. I often read you commentary about scripture and i thought as i was listening to you, " this man is saying the exact words as David Gu. I smiled when i learned that you are that person. God bless you for your much needed work....
Thank you- a different angle expressed here on what grace is than usual. Also, speaking about the importance of rebuke at the end- I needed to hear that. Praying today to be a Grace filled shoe leather believer who can graciously receive rebuke.
While Christian ethical teaching often appears similar to other systems-Paul uses both Roman and Jewish ethical terms-the basis of Christian ethics is unique. Christians are good not merely out of obedience to the law or harmony with nature, or in order to gain immortal bliss for the soul. Rather, they are righteous in anticipation of the age to come, the eschaton, the age of the fullness of creation in the incarnate Son of God. Grace (v. 11) in the uncreated energy of God, the gift is of the Holy Spirit, through which He gives His gifts to man in tender mercy and good will. It is a formative power, the rule of life of the eschaton, requiring our determined participation. To belong to God is to become like God. To be ransomed, or "owned" by God (v. 14) is not simply legal and static, but means to live in solidarity with Him: a blessed, victorious struggle.
