Introduction of Titus

Paul wrote the letter to Titus around the same time as 1 Timothy (mid-60s AD) while Titus was organizing the church on the island of Crete. Titus, a trusted Gentile coworker, faced the challenge of establishing order among new believers in a notoriously corrupt culture. Paul gives practical instructions on appointing elders, teaching different groups in the church, and living out sound doctrine. The letter emphasizes grace as the foundation for godly living. It shows how the gospel can transform even the most difficult situations and people.
