Titus 2:11-14

Titus was ministering in a century of competition and confrontation
Jews vs. Gentiles
Slave vs. Free
Men vs. Women
Rome vs. Natives
Pharisees vs. Saducees
Etc.

The answer to the conflict was the Gospel
And that's the answer to conflict today
As we saw in the previous study...
Only in the 'new community' of the church
Could this 'competition/conflict' be defeated

For the LAW of God that brings WRATH has appeared to all JEWS
vs.
For the GRACE of God that brings SALVATION has appeared to all MEN

Romans 4:15
Romans 7:8-9
Galatians 3:28

It teaches us to say NO
vs.
It teaches us to say NO and YES

Yes to a righteous life
To victory over sin

Romans 7:14-8:9a

Only if we are people of GRACE
will we experience the attractive community
mentioned in the previous study

"God and Savior, Jesus Christ"
---KJV isn't quite as good here
---Granville Sharp rule
---This verse shows the deity of Christ
Jesus
1. Gave Himself
2. Redeemed us
3. Purified us
SO...We are eager to do good!
