Titus 1:16
Notes
Verses
{"They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him." Titus 1:16 NIV}{At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee. He himself had said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown. Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there. As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum whose son was very sick. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die. Jesus asked, “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?” John 4:43-48 NLT}{Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.” John 4:42 NLT}{Jesus asked, “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?" John 4:48 NLT}{The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.” Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son will live!” John 4:49-50 NLT}{The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.” John 4:49 NLT}{"And the man believed what Jesus said and started home." John 4:50 NLT}{He asked them when the boy had begun to get better, and they replied, “Yesterday afternoon at one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!” Then the father realized that that was the very time Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea. John 4:52-54 NLT}{The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 NLT}
Quotes
Craig Groeshel : “Christian atheism, where people believe in God but live as if He doesn’t exist.” (The Christian Atheist ); J.D. Grear : “Faith is belief in action. Faith does not exist apart from its action. Faith starts with mental assent, but if this mental assent does not lead to obedience, it is not yet “faith.” (Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart); Mark Batterson : “It was a long-distance miracle in real time. He sent healing via sound waves that instantaneously healed the royal official’s son who was twenty miles out of earshot.” (The Grave Robber );
