Focus: Titus 1:13 - KJV
13. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Titus 1:10-16
Unless there be a blemish in the old style, there is no need for the new one. Even though the testament of old could not bring salvation to the Jews not to talk of the entire world, some are still guiding people to follow the tenets of the same as against the way of the Lord. But because the Lord is Love, we are not to ignore them but to correct them to forestall their going to hell as well as taking others with them there.
It is absolutely ironic that in the present age some people still afford such witchcraft as praying for the death of their “foes” and taking seriously the things of Moses over the way of Christ. It is unfortunate also that after correcting some, when they do see they have been wrong, rather than admit and change their ways, they are wont to pretend out of ego that they are not wrong and thereby fail to afford their followers the right to know and take to correction.
The Lord is saying that it is human to err and therefore, we should take to correction whenever the mind of God is revealed to us over some position we had taken hitherto. Not only should we stop teaching the old heresies, we should openly decline it and correct others who still pursue the heretical ways and values.
Please pray:
Father, I thank you for the insight you always give me into your word through your Holy Spirit. Please help me to always get understanding into your word so as not to be driven about with the winds of doctrine, in Jesus’ name. The heart to take to correction where I have erred, please release unto me in Jesus’ name. Let my tomorrow be alright dear Lord, in Jesus’ name.
Please share with others. God bless you.
