Summary
Titus 1:1-4: The book of Titus is different from many of Paul’s other New Testament writings [Galatians, Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians], because it is not written to a church but to a person. Left on the Island of Crete to put things in order, Titus received this letter of instruction as a part of his schooling on how to think Christianly and pastorally about the world. In just his introduction, Paul passes on a right view of salvation, a solid foundation of hope and a new heart for community.
Questions for Further Discussion
In what ways do people try to separate the promises of God [sound doctrine] from the commandments of God [Godly living]?
How does Paul’s relationship with Titus (see 2 Corinthians) inform our view of Christian community?
