Titus 2- Zealous for good deeds

 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,
 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

What a great reminder.  Over and over again we see the same message, Deny Ungodliness but Be Zealous for Good Deeds.  It is stated repeatedly with slightly different verbage.  Why?  Because even though we know (head knowledge) that we should run from evil and sprint toward our Savior, we so often don't.
