We live in a world quite similar to the dangers found in the days of the New Testament. With a plurality of perspectives concerning faith and doctrine where can Christians turn to find objective truth? The Apostle Paul writes to his student Titus with instructions towards godliness.

Titus 1:1-4 (NIV)

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

1. Knowledge of the truth leads to godliness.
2. Godliness is found in the hope of eternal life.
2. The hope of eternal life is brought to light through God’s Word.

“You are either in the Word and the Word is conforming you to the image of Jesus Christ, or you are in the world and the world is squeezing you into its mold.”
