Introduction to Titus

The Epistle to Titus is one of the pastoral letters written by the Apostle Paul to his trusted brother-in-Christ Titus, a Gentile believer tasked with organizing and strengthening the churches on the island of Crete. Written around 63-65 AD, likely after Paul’s first imprisonment in Rome, the letter addresses the urgent need for sound doctrine, godly leadership, and righteous living in a culture known for moral instability. Paul’s purpose is clear throughout: right belief must lead to right behavior. As he writes elsewhere, “But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.” 1 Corinthians 14:40, a principle that shapes the entire message of Titus.

In the next seven weeks, we will be exploring and diving into the book of Titus. This will be in depth in the translation and the five W’s (who, what, when, where, and why). This study is not for a quick understanding of what the book says, but a guide for furthering our relationship with Christ and how we can change our lives for God. In our last study, we went over and discussed how to study the Bible. I encourage my readers to use what we have learned and apply it to this study with me. One thing I have learned, we must always fact-check and research the scripture and not take MAN’s word as final, so please check my work in the Holy Word of God. I pray that in these blogs, God hides my opinion and speaks through me to His Bride, the church.

Until next week, when we will start in Titus 1,

Stay the course for the Kingdom,

Austin
