Remembering where we came from makes a difference
We were... FOOLISH.
We were without perception.
Before salvation, every one of us were devoid of real knowledge.
We were…DISOBEDIENT.
We were incorrigible.
We were unwilling to be persuaded to comply.
Do you remember that this is actually how you were when you were without Christ?
How about now, are you teachable?
We were…DECEIVED.
We were victims of deception.
To deceive in this verse has the idea of tricking someone so that they wander away.
We were... ENSLAVED TO VARIOUS LUSTS AND PLEASURES.
We should never forget we were once enslaved in a complicated web of passions and desires, but out of all that, God salvaged us.
In like manner, Titus was to hold out hope for the Cretans.
We were... SPENDING OUR LIFE IN MALICE.
We spent our lives in wickedness.
Paul reminded Timothy of this so that he would be gracious in his dealings with the Cretans.
We were... SPENDING OUR LIFE BEING HATEFUL.
This has the idea of continually hating one another.
We were all guilty of hate crimes.
Rom 3:9-18

BUT reflects a change in direction in Paul’s discussion with Titus.
The word but shows a
change in direction in Paul’s discussion with Titus.
1) Here we see the true source of our salvation.
Salvation came from God’s kindness.
This is great news considering the pre-salvation list of evils he just recapped with Titus.
,
2) The phrase God our Savior literally reads, “God, the Savior of us.”
This statement does not communicate that God is one of the ones who saves us; it communicates that God is the one and the only Savior we have.
3) In Roman times when a Caesar passed by, people would often shout, “SALVATORE,” meaning “Our savior!” Paul made it very clear that God is our one true Savior; not Caesar, not Buda, not Mohammad or any other man or god.
God’s love for mankind was made visible to all when Christ died on the cross.
1) The phrase love for mankind is PHILANTHROPIA in Greek.
We get our word philanthropy from this word.
Even though people reject God’s plan of salvation, Christ died out of a universal love for all mankind.
2) Appeared is EPIPHAINO in Greek.
We get our English word epiphany, meaning enlightenment or realization, from this word.
God’s love for mankind burst on the scene at Calvary.
It is impossible to think God is hateful when you realize the price Christ paid when He died for us.
Remembering what Christ did for us makes a difference

Titus 3:
1) The verb saved is in the aorist, active, indicative tense, meaning it is a once for all, done deal.
It was finished in the past by God.

Titus
Jesus did not save us based on the good things we have done.
We cannot earn our salvation.
There is nothing we can do to counterbalance the bad things we have done.

1) Nearly every religious person is working to be saved.
Trying to make it.
Trying to be good enough for God.
3) In Roman times when a Caesar passed by, people would often shout, “SALVATORE,” meaning “Our savior!” Paul made it very clear that God is our one true Savior; not Caesar, not Buda, not Mohammad or any other man or god.
God’s love for mankind was made visible to all when Christ died on the cross.
2) But the Bible is very clear: We cannot be saved by what we do.
That’s impossible.
Our good works are not good enough.
The statement, “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done...” is about as clear as it gets.
