”who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.“
Titus 2:14 KJV
Paul instructs Titus, ”He sacrificed Himself for us that He might purchase our freedom from every lawless deed and to purify for Himself a people who are His very own, passionate to do what is beautiful in His eyes”. We are a people encircled by God Himself, like a dot within a circle. As the circle surrounds the dot, so God is around each one of His saints. The circle has the dot all to itself. So God has His very own all to Himself. We are unique in that we belong only to Him. Uniquely His, we are monopolised by God, taken into Himself by grace through faith and surrounded by His love. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them. Hallelujah!
