Introduction
Attention (Why should they listen to you?) Imagine one day hearing a knock at your door.
You go to answer and you see a rather distinguished gentleman, finely dressed with an elegant letter in his hand.
He, with a regal voice declares that this letter is for you.
He hands it to you and suggests that you read it and follow the instructions down to the last detail.
After he has given it to you, he turns and promptly leaves.
Attention (Why should they listen to you?)
You run into your home and you open the letter that is sealed with a wax embossed seal.
As you read the letter you come to realize that you are an a distant heir of a King from a foreign land you have never heard of.
The King has passed and now everything that was his is now yours.
Do you believe it?
Do you follow up on this?
Or do you ignore it and throw the letter away thinking it is too good to be true.
The gospel is so important.
It tells us how we can avoid and eternity in Hell.
But the gospel’s message is so much more than that!
When communicating the
ospel, many fail to understand the tremendous, eternal benefits of a relationship with God...
Gospel, many fail to understand the tremendous, eternal benefits of a relationship with God...
But when you read the Scriptures you find out some amazing truths about God and His relationship with His Children.
And it is my hope and purpose today to help you cross the line of faith so that you too can enjoy living in Hope for what is yet to come!
What do the hearers need to know?
You must understand!
God loves you and desires to give you everything!
Main Sermon Idea: God is So Good and Loving He Not Only Saves People, He Gives them Everything!
Main Sermon Idea: God is So Good and Loving He Not Only Saves People, He Gives them Everything!
Interrogative: Seriously?
God wants me to have everything?
Well, yes!
He wants you to have Him and in Him is everything that is worth having!
Transition: Titus is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to his young disciple who has been tasked with church planting on the Island of Crete...
In this particular passage, Paul instructs Titus on the beautiful benefits of the gospel...
1. God Saves People Because He is Good, Loving and Merciful (vs.
4-5a)
Lead in…This is the character of our great God!
He is not some cosmic ogre who desires to make our lives miserable!
No, God is working, even through the bad stuff to draw us to Him.
Paul wants Titus to understand very clearly the character of the God he serves...
Titus
Verse 4 - The apostle Paul wants Titus to teach the people of his church and all the churches of the island of Crete, something profound.
First, there is a God! Paul doesn’t argue about it, he assumes it.
Second this God isn’t an evil despot.
He isn’t wicked and mean.
Imagine if God were all-powerful and evil!
Wow, this world is bad enough, I can’t imagine what it would be like if that were the case.
No, He is not evil, rather he is full of goodness and loving kindness...
And this Good and Lovingly kind God set out to save people.
Well, this begs the question, saved from what?
Two things, really...
Saved from ourselves -
Saved from the wrath of God -
Verse 5a - (Stop at “mercy”) It is interesting to see what Paul says next to his young son in the faith.
“he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness...” This would be impossible if you understand what the bible says about everyone’s individual righteousness.
We have none...
And lest you think this is a New/Testament concept, it is not.
The Apostle Paul is quoting from the OT in and 53.
This “No righteousness” condition that we suffer from has been around since Adam and Eve first disobeyed God and ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Since then, humankind has had a rough go of it.
Our hearts became darkened and the edenic/perfect life God planned for mankind was now replaced with a sinful existence from both without and within!
This is what Jesus was talking about in...
This lack of righteousness is also known as the sinful condition that we all suffer from...
Sin is breaking God’s moral law.
The history of the human race as presented in Scripture is primarily a history of man in a state of sin and rebellion against God and of God’s plan of redemption to bring man back to himself.
Therefore, it is appropriate now to consider the nature of the sin that separates man from God.
We may define sin as follows: Sin is any failure to conform to the moral law of God in act, attitude, or nature.
Well, the topic of sin certainly isn’t politically correct.
People do not like to discuss this.
But the reality is, when we truly understand our sinful condition, we can truly understand the need for a cure from it.
Think about it this way, Let say you go to the doctor and she tells you that going through your routine tests she found something unusual and she wants to do some further testing.
The long and short of it, she diagnoses you with cancer.
Now what?
Do you dismiss your self from her office and simply go home with no plan for addressing this looming issue?
I mean if you do not do something about this diagnosis, the cancer will grow and you will die from its complications.
Of course you address it! of course you pursue a treatment plan.
No doubt you may get a second opinion, but the bottom line is you are going to listen intently to every word the doctor says and be committed to doing what you are told so you can have the opportunity of more life!
Ladies and gentlemen, consider me your doctor and listen to my diagnosis of your soul.
Everyone one of us is born with a sin-sick soul that needs only one treatment plan.
And that plan is a touch from the great Physician, Jesus Christ to gain the spiritual healing we all need.
Why? Because, dying with the sinful condition doesn’t just mean physical death, it means eternal spiritual death.
And once we come to terms with this reality, we are open to a potential cure.
And the Bible, God’s hold Word, gives us the cure!
Jesus!

It’s Jesus that does the saving for those who will listen to Him.
The first thing you need to hear and believe is that you are a sinner and you have offended a holy God in thought, word and dead...
Second, you need to believe that God is good and full of loving kindness -
God desired the Cretans to come to repentance and He wants the same for you!
That’s why the Father sent the Son into the world.
Jesus appeared on this earth for the soul purpose of being the cure for your sin sick soul!
Now, sometimes there can be confusion on this issue.
Jesus did come to this earth from Heaven as the perfect sacrifice who hung on the cross in your place to save you from God’s eternal wrath and punishment.
He took the punishment for you.
But sometimes people think they have to earn or work their way to heaven.
They have to do a certain number of things to make God happy with them.
But this cannot be the case.
Because there isn’t enough works that one can do to appease the punishment of God.
Let me explain - When someone breaks the law, we demand justice.
Our culture and country is built on the rule of law.
