BLESSED WITH A PURE HEART AND EYES

My Dear Precious Child, In Paul's letter to Titus, he wrote the letter to stimulate and promote the faith of My chosen children and to lead them on to accurate discernment and recognition of the Truth which belongs to and harmonizes with godliness. He wrote the expected character traits of elders and bishops of the church, much like he did with Timothy. However, in the letter to Titus he wrote about some people in the congregation who were disorderly, who were idle, misleading talkers who were deceivers of themselves who had come over from the circumcision party, the Jews. Paul, himself, wasted few words, writing that the mouths of those people must be stopped because they were misleading entire families by teaching what they should not teach, all for the purpose of gaining reputation and wealth. He even repeated what one of their own prophets had said about them, that they were liars, hurtful beasts, idle and lazy gluttons. Paul agreed with that assessment of the Jews who had infiltrated the ranks of Titus' church, writing that they needed to be rebuked sternly, sharply and even severely so that they might turn from their actions and return to sound faith, being free from errors. He wrote that the people in the church needed to cease giving attention to Jewish myths and fables and to the rules and laws laid down by men who had rejected the Truth of Jesus Christ. (Titus 1:10-14) Paul wrote that to the pure in heart and CONSCIENCE all things are pure, but to the corrupt and unbelieving people nothing is pure; their very mind and CONSCIENCE are defiled and polluted. He wrote that those impure people professed to know Me but they denied and denounced Me by what they do. He even identified them as being loathsome and detestable, unbelieving, disobedient, disloyal, rebellious, unfit and worthless for good works of any kind. Paul recognized the evil that they were teaching and he knew that a little poison would kill the whole church. (Titus 1:15-16) In his letter to the church in Crete Paul mentioned the descriptions of the characteristics of righteousness which the elders, bishops, older women, younger women and young men must display in their lives. But, mainly, Paul wrote about the characteristics that he, Titus, must display in his own life, that he must be a pattern and model of good deeds, teaching what is unadulterated, having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive with dignity and seriousness. Then Paul described the teachings that Titus must give to the church, writing that they must be sound, fit, wise and wholesome, vigorous, and above censure so that anyone who opposed him would be put to shame, finding nothing evil to say about the believers. He continued on in his letter by writing workers should be submissive to their masters, pleasing them in every way, refusing to steal, always being loyal and entirely reliable and faithful so that in every way they would be an ornament and do credit to the teaching about Me, the Savior. (Titus 2:1-10) Paul was constantly endeavering to keep his converts to Christ Jesus pure, undefiled and gifted with enough wisdom to recognize the false teachers and prophets who had begun to invade the new covenant churches in order to bring dishonor to My name and entice My liberated children to return to the Old Covenant Law. It doesn't work. It's putting new wine into old wine skins, splitting the wine skins and spilling the new wine all over the floor, ruining the wine and the wine skins. Endeavoring to add old covenant Law to the True Gospel of Jesus Christ pollutes it and causes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to be polluted and of no effect. The Law was given to point out sin, not as a means to salvation, even though the Law often prophesied the coming of the new covenant of the Holy Spirit which brought freedom from evil.
