Doing what is good

Titus 3:1-15
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.
Love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
So that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives.
Once, says Paul, we were all slaves to passion and pleasure. Because that was before we discovered the loving kindness of God, who saved us and renews us by his Holy Spirit, giving us the hope of eternal life. 
When his relief arrives, Titus is to join Paul at Nicopolis on the west coast of Greece. Tychicus is another member of Paul's inner circle of partners in the gospel. Zenas and Apollos may have been the ones who brought Paul's letter to Tutus.
Why?
All of us are slave of the Lord and are people under authorities, so to be obedient to rulers is obedient to the Lord.
Ready to do whatever is good, is our mission and with good altitude, peaceable, considerate, humility toward all men.
God loves us no because of what we done but because of God's mercy and grace, No because of who I am, but because of who He is.
Good things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
How?
Dear father in heaven, please give me strength to be peaceable, considerate, humidity toward all men. Ready to do good things.
