Purpose
In Paul’s Letter to Titus, the apostle underscores the necessity of good works in view of God’s saving grace. He has written this brief but relevant epistle “so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works” (3:8a ESV). Apparently, at that time, as is often the case now, there were more than a few individuals who supposed it was possible to profess faith but not abound in commendable deeds.
