Titus 3:14 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.
John MacArthur, in the conclusion of his series on Titus:
The final word for faithful friends is love. Love that engages in good deeds to meet pressing needs.
You say, “I thought this was an evangelistic epistle.” It is. It’s an evangelistic epistle. My goodness, verse 11 of chapter 2, “The grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all men.” Chapter 3, “He saved us not on the basis of deeds which we have done…” and so forth. It’s all about salvation. It’s an evangelistic epistle.
But the key to evangelism is right relationships. That involves shunning false teachers, rejecting factious people. It involves helping fellow servants and loving faithful friends. You see, the whole thing in evangelism, the whole credibility issue is built on the character of our lives. And the only way to pull this off is his final conclusion, “Grace be with you all.” Apart from God’s grace it can’t happen. By His grace it can.
