In the opening words of his letter to Titus the apostle Paul makes it clear who he is and his reason for writing. Paul calls himself a slave of God… a slave? Yes! He is a man who knows that he belongs to the LORD and does what he does for the sake of the faith of God’s elect. A title like slave of God reveals much about who Paul is and his apostolic ministry. In these first four verses we also get a sense of the focus of this pastoral letter and the type of relationship that Paul had with Titus.
