Titus

Titus is Paul's compact manual for setting young churches in order on the morally rough island of Crete. He charges Titus to appoint qualified elders, silence profiteering false teachers, and teach sound doctrine that bears fruit in every group — old and young, leaders and households. The heart of the letter is one luminous truth: the grace of God has appeared, and that grace both saves us and trains us to renounce ungodliness and live upright, godly lives while we await the blessed hope, the appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. So grace and good works are not rivals. A people redeemed by grace become zealous for good works, adorning the gospel before a watching world.
