What does Titus teach about good works for believers?

Titus 3 reveals that while believers are saved by grace, they are also called to be careful to maintain good works (Titus 3:8). This does not imply that good works contribute to our salvation, but rather that they are the evidence of our transformed lives in Christ. Historic Reformed theology teaches that good works are a response to God's grace and serve as an expression of genuine faith. They have a dual purpose: they glorify God and can positively impact others. Thus, good works are intrinsic to the Christian life—effects of genuine regeneration and the outworking of the Holy Spirit's work in believers.
