Truth That Leads to Godliness

Titus 1:1–4  (ID: 1591)

The body of Christ always needs to realign itself with the truth of God’s Word. In greeting Titus, Paul previewed a letter packed with sobering advice for practical problems affecting a local church. As Alistair Begg explains, Paul’s aim as an apostle was to serve God’s people for the sake of their faith and knowledge of the truth, which leads to godly living. His testimony reminds us of the hope we have, rooted in the promise God made in eternity past.


Greeting

1Paul, a servant1 of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, 2in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began2 3and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;

4To Titus, my true child in a common faith:

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
