El sermón "Acorde con la sana doctrina (casta)" de Joel Coyoc se centra en la enseñanza de Tito 2:3-5, los roles y comportamientos esperados de diferentes grupos dentro de la iglesia, especialmente enfatizando la pureza y la castidad que deben reflejarlos. Coyoc subraya que el verdadero enfoque no es simplemente seguir recetas de comportamiento (los "cómos"), sino conocer y reflejar las cualidades de Cristo, quien es el modelo supremo de pureza y sabiduría. Utilizando las escrituras de Proverbios 7 y Hebreos 7, el predicador argumenta que la castidad no es sólo un estándar moral, sino una manifestación de una vida que ha sido transformada por el Evangelio. La aplicación práctica de esta enseñanza es esencial para adornar la doctrina de Dios y refleja la necesidad de que los cristianos vivan de acuerdo a la fe de manera coherente durante todo el año, incluyendo todos los ámbitos de sus vidas.

The Bible calls for believers to live prudently and chastely, reflecting the character of Christ.
In Titus 2:3-5, the Apostle Paul instructs older women to teach younger women to be chaste and to love their husbands and children. This call for chastity is not just about behavior but also about an inner purity that reflects the character of Christ, who is described as holy and innocent in Hebrews 7:26-27. Living a chaste life is fundamental for Christians as it signifies a commitment to moral integrity and fidelity to God’s standards, thereby adorning the doctrine of God our Savior.
Titus 2:3-5, Hebrews 7:26-27
Sound doctrine is vital for spiritual health and helps guard against false teachings.
In Titus 2:1, the Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of teaching what is in accordance with sound doctrine. Sound doctrine helps shape the believer's life, ensuring that their actions reflect the truths of the Gospel. This is crucial for avoiding the pitfalls of false teachings that can lead to moral and spiritual decay. As believers, grounding ourselves in sound doctrine equips us to live in a manner that pleases God and fulfills our call to be witnesses of His grace. It molds our character to be more like Christ, who is the essence of sound teaching.
Titus 2:1
Knowing Christ empowers us to live a life of holiness and moral purity.
The call to live morally and chastely is intricately tied to knowing Christ. As mentioned in the sermon, our understanding of chastity comes not from mere behavioral modification but from a relationship with Jesus, who embodies purity and integrity. Hebrews 7:26-27 affirms this notion, presenting Christ as the holy and unstained high priest. It is crucial for believers to realize that true change in our lives stems from knowing and experiencing Christ’s love and grace. As we grow in our knowledge of Christ, we are transformed, allowing His character to influence our thoughts and behaviors, leading us to live lives that glorify God.
Hebrews 7:26-27
Christians exemplify good works by being inspired by Christ and reflecting His character in their lives.
According to Ephesians 2:10, believers are created in Christ for good works, which God prepared beforehand. Good works should be viewed as an outcome of our relationship with Christ and not merely an exercise in moralism. As the sermon emphasizes, it is paramount to understand that true goodness comes from being united with Christ, who is the epitome of goodness. Our actions carry weight when they are motivated by a desire to glorify God and serve others with genuine love. When we reflect on the grace of God in our lives, our good works become a testament to His saving power, inviting others to know Him as well.
Ephesians 2:10
