INSIGHT

Doctrine Should Make The Gospel Beautiful

  • Sound doctrine is not merely true; it makes Christ and the gospel beautiful to others.
  • Nancy emphasizes doctrine's beauty as the reason Christian teaching should inspire desire for Christ, not be reduced to a dry checklist.
ADVICE

Don't Checklist Your Way To Godliness

  • Do not treat Titus' commands as a checklist to self-improve apart from Christ.
  • Nancy warns that legalistic efforts exhaust and fail; instead rely on Christ's transforming grace to produce godly living.
