Titus

Paul wrote the letter to Titus, a young pastor on a Island of Crete. Titus faced two primary problems in his church. On the one hand, some claimed that immoral living was alright because God's grace was sufficient for forgiveness. On the other hand, there were those who claimed that acceptance by God came through obeying God's laws. Paul encouraged Titus to confront both groups for undermining God's gracious gift of forgiveness in Christ.
Paul solved Titus's duel problem by reminding him of the importance of God's grace. When we discover the amazing grace God has bestowed on us, we will feel an incredible sense of gratitude. This will motivate us to delight in obeying God's will for our life, not to live immorally because our forgiveness is guaranteed. God is not a harsh taskmaster whose favor depends on our slavish obedience to his rules. He is a gracious Father who offers us a relationship with him, both now and through eternity. We can live a Godly life out of gratitude to God because he loves us and forgives us.
The fact that God is gracious and forgiving is essential to recovery. We already know that we are powerless against sin and dependency. We have all failed many times over. We don't need to be afraid to admit our sins and failures to our gracious God. He will forgive us and help us start over again. Because God is gracious, we can continue our honest, self examination without fear. God will never write us offfor our failures and mistakes. God accepts us just as we are.
