How does the apostle seek to encourage Titus in the difficult task set before him, as well as lay the groundwork for his perseverance- He does so by directing all his attention upon God and how He is the center of the Christian life and ministry.

The message of this book is that sound doctrine, and the proper organization of the church, leads to fruitful living. For it is the truth, wielded by Godly leadership -and central to the church's faith and practice and mission, that serves to guard and protect and promote the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
