The Epistle to Titus

NS1095
 
The Epistle to Titus is the conclusion
Of the three books, First and Second Timothy and Titus,
And it concludes with the wonderful faith
And the super-excellent love.
This implies that, in the current of
  the church’s degradation,
In order to be able to effectively stand firm
And overcome the downward trend and factor in the church,
This wonderful faith and this super-excellent love
  are indispensable.
 
We should not walk by sight
Or care for the outward situation.
Rather, in this wonderful faith
We should enjoy its source,
Which is the Triune God,
To whom we have been joined,
Joined through this faith,
And by this super-excellent love
  of the Triune God
We should love Him and all those
  who belong to Him.
Only in this way can we become,
In the current of the church’s degradation,
The overcomers whom the Lord is calling
And is desiring to obtain
In Revelation 2 and 3.

Titus 3:15, footnote 1, sections 2A & B
