A peculiar people

I loved this particular version of Titus 2:11-14 [KJV]


For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.


It says the church are a peculiar people because they are zealous of good works. Zeal in a lot of areas is seen in the world like workplace, family, profession, personal identity, etc, but while it is commendable to be zealous in any respect, the Bible proclaims the people of God as naturally inclined towards being zealous of good works..and that is definitely not the convention of the day..


So, be different, be peculiar, be zealous of good works.
