Salvation in Titus

Through the book of Titus, Paul weaves an overview of salvation. Today I want to give that overview.

The Author of Salvation

Vs (1:3, 1:4) (3:4, 3:6) (2:9, 2:13)

Notice how these are grouped in the letter.

The Appearing of Salvation

Vs 2:11, 3:4, 2:13 (its final appearing)

Appearing in the Greek is epiphaino.  It means to bring to light, to become clearly known, to show or reveal one's self. It is also the word from which we get our word epiphany.

The Availability of Salvation

Vs 2:11, 3:4

Notice to whom salvation is made available.

The Application of Salvation

Vs 1:1

Now notice to whom salvation is applied.

The Act of Salvation

Vs 2:14, 3:5-7

Notice who does the redeeming and the saving.

The Actions of the Saved

Vs 2:11-14

Compare these verses with verse 16 of the previous chapter. As Luther said, "We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone."
