saved

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. (Titus 2:11-14, NRSV)

So do you need salvation?

I mean really what are you a slave to?

And what is it we need to be saved from?

Hell?

Well maybe, but what is it that would end us up in Hell?

Impiety?

Worldly passions?

According to Titus we need to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly…

Jesus came to teach us how to live in the life God has set before us and to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people for good deeds.

He has to purify us and save us from ourselves!

We need to be sanctified, or made more like Him, to save us from our own sinful desires, that would draw us from Him.

So yes we need to be set free from our own desires, and lifted to a mind like His.

Thanks be to God that Jesus came to set us free!
