The apostle made it clear then, and it is clear to us now, or should be, that God gave his only begotten son, that demonstrated what God wants us to do.

God‘s inspiration for the writing of this excerpt of scripture is to remind us of the extent to which He went to affirm the redemption of, and salvation for, all of humanity.

Repentance for sin and belief in God throu...

But now he is asking them to demonstrate that same love to brother Onesimus who is now saved, and helping him. This is a story of love and trust, and more importantly, forgiveness.

Here Apostle Paul greets Bishop/Pastor Titus and provides instruction and wisdom from experience as to how he should move forward in his ministry.

During these times as were in the era of the Apostle Paul and his spiritual son Timothy we should give earnest heed to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

When humanity, especially the body of Chri...

In this passage of scripture we learn from the apostle that he revealed to the Gentiles that God was accepting them as well as the Jews.

Here again we see the mind and love of God as he inspires the recording of his instructions for humanity as to how we demonstrate his personality in our everyday vocations.

All glory belo...

We see that God allowed the Apostle, who was caught in the presence of God that he would understand what God wanted man to understand.
