Paul wrote to his friend Titus, who was helping churches on an island called Crete.
Paul said, “Remind people to be ready to do good things, to be gentle, and to be polite to everyone.”
Why? Because God was kind to us first! He saved us, not because we were good, but because He is kind and full of mercy.
