A. Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Christ (1-3)

1. Becoming God’s apostle

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness– 
2 a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, 
3 and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, 

2. The work of an apostle

B. Titus (4)

4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. 

SUMMARY

Each us has been sent out by God to the places where we live every day. In this broad sense, we are also God’s servants and apostles. We, too, have been given that task of sharing the Gospel, leading others, and passing it on to the next generation.
