Titus 3
Be Ready for Every Good Work
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 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. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 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, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. 9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
Final Instructions and Greetings
12 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. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. 14 And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.
15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all.

Vision and faith November 2nd
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7
This life is a life of faith. You are living by faith. You have a spirit of faith. That is why Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:13, “But since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak.” Here Paul is quoting from Psalm 116, which speaks of taking “the cup of salvation” and calling on the name of the Lord. So the speaking in verse 13 is really a calling. Paul was calling on the name of the Lord. His exercised “spirit of faith” brought him into the realm of faith.
Vision causes us to walk by faith, not by sight. When we stimulate our spirit, we see the real situation from the view of God’s economy — we are in the process of transformation, and the life of Christ is being increasingly manifested in our mortal flesh. When you exercise your spirit, you get into another realm and you begin to live by faith. Our exercised spirit brings in vision, and vision brings in faith. The more vision we have, the more faith we have.
The faith expresses itself by contacting the Lord and applying the cross: “Bearing about in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor. 4:10). How much do we coordinate inwardly with the outward environment? God arranges our environments. He hands us over to
the exact environments we need — those particular ones for you and for me. Then He causes those environments to be matched at the right time with the inward application of the cross. This inward application of the cross is an exercise of our spirit of faith to call on the Lord, to get refocused from what is happening at that moment to what is happening in eternity, to what is happening in God’s economy. Our focus is on what is taking place in the realm of faith and eternity. Our focus is not in the realm of right and wrong, what is due us, what we deserve, or how we are being treated. We get completely out of that realm into the realm of what is happening in relationship to God’s economy — how much Christ is being added to us.
