A Timely Reminder From Titus

A timely reminder from Titus (specifically, Titus 3:1-2), for me and my brothers and sisters in Christ:

• Be submissive to rulers and authorities
• Be obedient
• Be ready for every good work
• Speak evil of no one
• Avoid quarreling
• Be gentle
• Show perfect courtesy toward all people

Why?

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7

Grace and peace this Election Day!
