Read Titus 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

2In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

3But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

Titus 1:1-3

Biblical Context

Paul identifies himself as a servant and apostle, tying faith to the truth that leads to godliness, and pointing to the hope of eternal life promised by God who cannot lie.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul's opening is not a history lesson but a manual for your inner life. He speaks from the throne of your own I AM, declaring that you are a servant of God and an apostle of the Christ within, chosen by the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of truth that compels godliness. The 'truth which is after godliness' is not a doctrine to be argued but a state to be inhabited; when you acknowledge it, you align with the enduring life God promises. 'In hope of eternal life,' God cannot lie, so the promise is as sure as your awareness. The phrase 'before the world began' points to timeless you, the I AM that existed long before time and will remain after all appearances fade. The 'due times manifested' indicates that as you settle this inner reality, your inner word becomes external through preaching—your acts and words echoing the truth you have already assumed. Therefore, the whole passage invites you to live from the conclusion that life, truth, and mission are already complete within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I am the I AM; eternal life is mine now,' and feel the truth entering your body. Then choose one simple action that expresses that inner state as though God’s word has already been manifested through you.
