Truth is Timeless

Todays reading: Titus 1:1-16

“This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.” - Titus‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Paul opens this letter to Titus by declaring that he is a slave of God and an apostle (one who has been sent) of Jesus Christ.

He viewed his job as a slave in two ways:

1) Bring faith to others. Lead them to trust Jesus.

2) Teach them to know the truth. It won’t come about naturally, even given enough time.

Now, in Romans 1:19, we see that we can get a general picture of truth via God’s creation. This is a setup for us sharing the specific reality of the gospel.

As we see in verses 15-16, the truth isn’t something that needs to be improved upon or requires any amendments. It is perfect and life-giving throughout all generations, and was so before God said, “Let there be light.”

Jesus said that we would know the truth, and it will set us free (see John 8:32). May we continue to walk in that freedom today, experiencing it as pure.
