The Gospel Is Not About Self-Imposed Poverty

Titus was sent by Paul to To prepare them and to ask them to prepare a gift to bring back to the church in Jerusalem. He says but since you excel in everything in faith in speech and knowledge in complete earnestness and in love we have kindled in you see that you also excel in the grace of giving. I would say the gospel is down to earth It's not it's not found in our attempts to prove anything to God Based upon our own our own works our own efforts he loves us because it's his nature to love us.
