The Holy Bible - Titus
The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading.
Why read it?
The Letter to Titus is Paul’s short guide to his helper Titus, left on the island of Crete around 64 AD. Paul tells him to appoint good leaders, teach sound doctrine, and correct false teachers. The letter stresses good works that flow from grace and orderly lives in homes and society.
You will find clear instructions for church leaders, different age groups, and slaves. This book helps anyone who wants practical help to live godly in a rough world.
Favourite quote
In Titus 2:11-12, Paul explains:
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
These two sentences show how grace saves and trains us to live right now.
What I Loved
The list of qualities for elders in chapter 1 stands out. They must be “blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children… not self willed, not soon angry” (Titus 1:6-7). This high standard reminds me that leaders must show character at home first, which keeps the church healthy.
Key Takeaway
Titus teaches that God’s grace saves us and changes how we live. Sound teaching leads to good works in every part of life. The book calls us to choose faithful leaders, teach truth firmly, and show godliness to win respect. It reminds us that Jesus gave Himself to make us pure and eager for good deeds until He returns.
