Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. – Titus 3:1-5 Believers are not their own boss. Believers are under the authority of God and we are compelled by the Spirit to live like it. Paul tells Titus that Believers are to be excellent citizens, self-controlled, peaceable, and gentle. These are not human qualities; these are supernatural ones. The Believer has been freed from rebelliousness by the love of Jesus. Titus is not being instructed to be weak, but to live in the strength of God and to love his neighbor as himself.
