Titus 1
S – Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to build up the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. Titus 1:1
O – In the greeting of Paul’s letter to Titus, I love the way Paul begins with of who he is and his purpose. Even if we knew nothing about Paul before this, by saying he is a slave of God, we automatically know where his allegiance lies, and who he is obeying. There is also a job description or purpose of the letter to Titus: to encourage believers in their faith and in the Gospel which leads them to godliness.
A – I like this verse because it lays it out very simple and plainly. Like Paul, I want to be obedient to Christ. Every time I teach, every time I disciple/mentor, every time I counsel, I want to build them up in the faith, instruct them, help them know and understand God’s Word so that they would be continually striving toward godliness and being Christ-like. This is what I want for myself: To keep growing, understanding, and knowing the Bible so that it is put into action in my life. I desire to be Christ focused in every part of my life.
P – Lord, help me to be single-minded, to be Christ focused always. Help me to do nothing out of my own desire, but to do everything that You desire. Father, equip me to teach the Truth.
