UNRULY BELIEVERS (DAY 110 OF 365)

UNRULY BELIEVERS
(Nuggets from Titus 1:10)

Apostle Paul left Titus in charge of a young church on the island of Crete, a place known for immorality and rebellion. Titus needed to appoint capable leaders to both teach against false teachers and demonstrate TRUE GODLINESS by confidently teaching the truth that both SALVATION and GODLINESS are found in Jesus alone.

The island of Crete was a strategic port for the Roman Empire. People from all over the world visited this island, so Apostle Paul started a church there and left his protégé, Titus in charge; but Crete was also notorious for its REBELLIOUS, VIOLENT, and IMMORAL CULTURE (Titus 1:12), and in Paul’s absence, a group of Cretan teachers began to influence Titus’ church. This was what necessitated this letter to Titus.

These teachers were making money off a false understanding of what it means to be godly in an ungodly world (Titus 1:10-11). Among other things, they claimed that FAITH is not enough to become a GODLY FOLLOWER of Jesus, but being CIRCUMCISED is - WHAT A DECEIT.

Paul didn't hesitate to swing into action, he quickly told Titus to correct them sharply (Titus 1:13). This DOCTRINE that was propagated by these FALSE TEACHERS was an outright denial of the salvation that came through the death of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. Circumcision is not necessary to become a GODLY member of God's family, and public displays of religious identity aren’t how God transforms cultures. These teachers are liars. Their teachings prove that they truly don’t know God or what he wants (Titus 1:15-16).

It is so unfortunate that the body of Christ is bedevilled with UNRULY FOLKS who claim to be Christians their lives show otherwise. UNRULY "BELIEVERS" are incorrigible, they don't like to be faulted or indicted for their wrong deeds.

God is calling you to be a means of correction in His house, be a SALT that preserves, not a pollutant that corrupts.
You are called to lead people to Christ and not to mislead them to turn away from the Lord.

This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
