Throughout Paul's letter to Titus, he gives Titus instructions on how to deal with his congregation that has been corrupted by it's society and was therefore having difficulty practicing the Christian faith. In this third chapter Paul provides a couple of reminders that are helpful for us all to remember.
First, he reminds Titus that, before coming to faith, we were all negatively influenced by our society. God didn't save us because we were good. He saved us in spite of our being corrupt.
Second, Paul reminds Titus that the appropriate focus for Christians is good works. These are beneficial for all people and help keep us from getting distracted by other things.
