The life of faith is a spiritual journey beginning at the moment of new birth (regeneration) through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and continuing onward and upward from spiritual infancy—through the stages of spiritual growth— into maturity and beyond. I refer to it as the journey “from the cross to the crown.”
  
The little book of Titus, one of Paul’s “pastoral epistles,” provides a short-course on the life of faith. As we explore the great and timeless truth contained in this epistle, we will refer again and again to the “life of faith” and the journey “from the cross to the crown,” and to the many promises and provisions supplied by God in His matchless grace for those who choose to live in the light of the cross.
This was the subject of the Spring 2011 Conference in Canberra, Australia.

The Transforming Power of Grace 2

The Transforming Power of Grace 2

Paul increasingly thought of himself as lower and lower. Gospel is a message of truth about Jesus Christ from God. God is known through the person of Jesus Christ. We possess the righteousness of Jesus Christ (Eph 1:6, 2Co 5:21). If you have trusted Christ you are His elect (Tit 1:1). The driving force in Paul's life was love for God (2Co 5:14-15). Does the love of Christ compel us? God the savior (Tit 1:3-4, Tit 2:10, Tit 2:13, Tit 3:4, Tit 3:6). Paul committed to Titus the Gospel (Tit 1:5). There are three gospel summaries in Titus: (1) Redemption is a plan of God the Father (Tit 1:1-4); (2) The Gospel is the work of the Son (Tit 2:11-14, Gal 6:14); (3) The Gospel is the power of Holy Spirit (Tit 3:4-7). It's easy to be deceived by false teachers. Ministry relates to authority and order. There's a demand of character. It requires a one-woman man with faithful children. Elders, overseer ("bishop"), and shepherd (Tit 1:5 Tit 1:7).
