Paul’s message to Titus was clear and consistent: he was to teach sound doctrine with dignity, integrity, and the authority given by God Himself. Titus was also to model the godly character and service he exhorted others to practice. Words, cautions Alistair Begg, are useless if they are not supported by actions. In contrast, when a pastor’s conduct embodies the Gospel message he preaches, believers are edified and encouraged to also live lives that declare the goodness of God’s grace.
Scripture: Titus 2:1, Titus 2:7–8, Titus 2:15
