Filed under: Teleios Introduction
Welcome to the Teleios Man, the culmination of years of teaching, writing, praying and investing in tens of thousands of men, with a heart to see them come into their full release and potential in Christ.
Teleios is the Greek word for “complete, total, finished, and mature.” It is found often in the New Testament. In Matthew 4:58 Jesus calls upon the disciples to become “Teleios,” as his Father in heaven is “Teleios.” Many translations use the word, “perfect,” which immediately causes men to recoil, often with the jaded response, “well, none of us are perfect.”
But why would Christ call us into perfection and completeness if it was impossible? Maybe it’s because Christ knew it could only be done in one way, and that was through Him. That opens up the most exciting of opportunities, and that is to fulfill the desire of Christ through His own perfection.
To the man who chooses to come to Jesus Christ, confess his sins, believe in Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection, an incredible exchange is made; Jesus takes the man’s sins and gives that man His righteousness, holiness, perfection, and eternal life. He instantaneously becomes a Teleios Man, a man complete in Christ.
Teleios Man is a call to men from every corner of the globe to move into the fullness that Christ has for him. It is a call to put Christ first, to put their wives and families second and to install themselves as “servant of all.” It is a call to maintain a life of moral purity, responsibility, controlled behavior, disciplined life-style and godly character. It is a challenge to change both the image and behavior of men in the eyes of the world into a Christ-like example of maturity. The Teleios Man is serious about seeing Christ portrayed and completed in the example of his own life.
But how many of us have failed and are imperfect? All of us, there are no exceptions. The purpose of the Teleios Man is to train imperfect men how to live in the perfection of the Perfect Messiah, Jesus Christ. Is that good news or what?
Stay glued to the Teleios Man blog for training, support, resources and encouragement.
We’re on a roll, momentum is growing and we want you to be part of the Teleios Man revolution. The next time someone tells you that they’re not perfect, you can respond, “Well I am. I am in Christ and he is my perfection.”
I love you in Christ,
Larry Teleios Titus
