Titus 3:3
Arabic APD 2024 (كِتاب العَهد الجَّديد مِن الكِتاب المُقَدَّس)
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Titus explains that we used to do bad things and not care about others, just like many people today might have done before finding faith. It’s a reminder of our past behavior so we can appreciate how God has changed us.
Explained for Children
Imagine you had a toy you really loved but kept breaking it because you were careless. Then one day, someone came and showed you how to take care of your toy properly. That's kind of like what this verse is saying about people before they learned to love others better with God’s help.
Historical Background
Titus was written by the Apostle Paul around 63-64 AD to Titus, who was a young leader in the church on Crete. The letter addressed issues related to moral standards and church leadership amidst a society that struggled with ethical behavior.
Living It Out Today
Consider a scenario where someone has gone through rehabilitation for addiction or behavioral issues. This verse can remind them of their past struggles but also highlight how they've changed, thanks to support from friends, family, and faith.
