As a servant of God and an apostle of Christ, Paul wrote to Titus with a clear purpose: to see men and women come to faith and grow in their knowledge of the truth. In this study of Titus 1:1–4, Alistair Begg explores the authority and single-mindedness of Paul’s ministry as he examines the doctrine of election. As Paul affirmed, although God is sovereign, we still have the responsibility to believe and proclaim the Gospel.
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.

As leadership transitions from one generation to the next, the central truths of the Gospel must remain at the very heart of the church’s work. Nearing the end of his life, Paul wrote to embolden the pastor Titus to teach sound doctrine, to confront false teaching, and to establish organized leadership according to Scripture. In this study of the book of Titus, we see the radical implications of God’s design for His people.
In volume one of this series, Alistair Begg examines the theological basis for Paul’s practical instructions. Knowing who God is and what He has done for us in the Lord Jesus provides both the foundation for our faith and the hope and motivation for our good deeds. As we consider Paul’s guidelines for choosing elders and teaching older men and women, we find that those who “get it right” adorn the Gospel by distinctive, godly living.

In volume two of this series, grace and confidence come to the forefront as Alistair Begg delves into the final chapters of Titus. Continuing his practical instructions regarding young women, men, slaves, and conflicts within the church, Paul assured Titus of the Bible’s reliable authority and the necessity of grace when sharing the Gospel. Justified by God’s mercy and enabled by His Spirit, the humbly obedient life of a Christian glorifies God and points others to Christ.
