Christians are called to live differently after accepting Christ, not just to secure heaven but to transform their daily lives right now. The book of Titus provides 14 biblical qualities that should mark every believer's life, from faithfulness in marriage and raising godly children to being hospitable, self-controlled, and holding firmly to God's Word. These qualities aren't achieved through human effort but through the power of the Holy Spirit working within us. When Christians pursue these characteristics, they shine like stars against the darkness of culture, showing the world what it truly means to follow Jesus Christ.
What do you do with the new life that Jesus gives you? You LIVE DIFFERENTLY. Your new life in Christ should impact and change every area of your life. You should begin to live differently than you lived before you decided to follow Jesus.
How do we do this? How do we live differently as followers of Jesus Christ? The Bible is full of practical counsel and powerful truth to help us live differently. One source for this practical counsel is a very short New Testament letter called TITUS.
