Jeremiah 51:54-52:34, Titus 3, Psalms 100, Proverbs 26:18-19
What God said to me – Paul told Titus to be an example of good deeds, but he was careful to tell him that I saved them not on the basis of deeds – even the ones they did in righteousness – but it was according to My mercy, by the washing of regeneration and the renewing by the Holy Spirit whom I poured out on them so they would be justified by My grace. The same is true for you – you were not saved because of the good deeds you did, and you don’t keep your salvation because of the good deeds you do. When I saved you, I purified you and made you zealous for good deeds. Make no mistake about it – there are no “secret” Christians. Your behavior and speech and demeanor and attitude should be beyond reproach and the fact that you are My child should be obvious because your walk is so different from the world. My people will engage in good deed as they walk in obedience to Me. So, look for opportunities to meet pressing needs and to encourage and comfort those around you. My kindness appeared to you in the form of My Son. Let your kindness appear to those around you because of My Son in you.
