The
Titus 2:11-15
Gal. 2:20
By: Luther M. Cain
As Paul traveled over the country
on his missionary journeys he con-
stantly proclaimed a religion of purity.
He had faith in a God who revealed
himself in splendor and great power.
We hear him say, "The grace of God
has appeared, training us to renounce
irreligion." With these words Paul be-
gan to shake traditional idolatries.
Wherever Paul went he found that
the prevailing religious practices not
only endorsed but encouraged the in-
dulging of baser passions. At Athens
and Ephesus hundreds of "sacred"
prostitutes lured and enticed men to
abase themselves in the name of their
false gods.
The disclosure of God's grace to
men had a deep and profound effect
upon this situation. The great mark of
the true Christian has always been his
changed moral character. Paul says,
"denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live sober, upright and
godly lives in this world."
Unholy passions were turned loose
when Jesus was crucified. Among those
who had .shouted "Hosanna" on the
occasion of his entry into Jerusalem
were those who cried "crucify" him.
Surely there were those who spent the
rest of their lives regretting their part in
that great crime. There is a very fine
demarkation line that divides man's
goodness from his baseness, and it
takes but little stimulation to arouse
ones worldly passions.
The power of good can be despoiled
by passions. The struggle for righ-
teousness in thought, and deed calls
for staunch souls immersed in the grace

bear tesimony to goodness. It can prove
that a life of goodness is indeed life at
its best.
Jesus gave himself to redeem us
from all iniquity. This is one of the
great truimphs of the cross. It was for
you he died upon the cross, this blessed
truth can be owned by each and every
one of us. Jesus gave himself"to purify
for himself a people of his own who
are zealous for good deeds." (2:14)
Many of our songs about the cross
exult in and exalt the personal salva-
tion it affords. This is one of the tri-
umphs of the cross. When Jesus was
placed on the cross he had little assur-
ance of the loyalty of the men he had
chosen left. His great teaching, his
friendship, his miracles failed to give
him" a people of his own". As the days
passed men began to reflect upon the
meaning of his death. When they rec-
ognized Jesus as the victor instead of
the victim, they entered into the fel-
lowship of his suffering.
As the days passed the number of
those believing on Jesus multiplied.
The cross had given Jesus what he
wanted most - "a people of his own."
The cross speaks to us today. The cross
calls us to go on in His name.
How do we show our gratitude for
Jesus' great love for us? Singing hymns,
reading the Bible, and praying are
forms of gratitude. But this alone is not
enough. Christians are urged "to be
obedient, to be ready for any honest
work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid
quarreling, to be gentle, and to show
perfect courtesy toward all men."
(3:102)
Such demands are difficult. But if
you follow them they will vouch for
the integrity of your Christian fellow-
