Titus – Salvation
The Book of Titus – passages specific to God’s Plan for Man’s – SALVATION
Titus 1
v.1 – Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness – v.2 – a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, v.3 – and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, v.4 – To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Titus 2
v.11 – For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. v.12 – It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, v.13 – while we wait for the blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. v.14 – who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Titus 3
v.3 – At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. v.4 – But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, v.5 – he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, v.6 – whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, v.7 – so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. v.8 – This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
