1:3 {3} But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our {f} Saviour;
(3) This truth is not to be sought anywhere else, but in the preaching of the apostles.
(f) This word Saviour does not only signify a preserver of life, but also a giver of life.
Titus 1:3 Manifested his word. God has manifested the eternal life promised by his word in the gospel.
1:3 And he hath in his own times - At sundry times; and his own times are fittest for his own work. What creature dares ask, Why no sooner? Manifested his word - Containing that promise, and the whole truth which is after godliness. Through the preaching wherewith I am intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour - And who dares exercise this office on any less authority?
1:1-4 All are the servants of God who are not slaves of sin and Satan. All gospel truth is according to godliness, teaching the fear of God. The intent of the gospel is to raise up hope as well as faith; to take off the mind and heart from the world, and to raise them to heaven and the things above. How excellent then is the gospel, which was the matter of Divine promise so early, and what thanks are due for our privileges! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God; and whoso is appointed and called, must preach the word. Grace is the free favour of God, and acceptance with him. Mercy, the fruits of the favour, in the pardon of sin, and freedom from all miseries both here and hereafter. And peace is the effect and fruit of mercy. Peace with God through Christ who is our Peace, and with the creatures and ourselves. Grace is the fountain of all blessings. Mercy, and peace, and all good, spring out of this.
