Verse from 1 Titus

“写信给提多，就是那在共同的信仰上作我真儿子的。愿恩惠平安从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣临到你。”

‭‭提多书‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭

“To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.”

‭‭Titus‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭

The apostle Paul was a spiritual mentor to Titus, his “true son in our common faith” (Titus 1:4). In his letter to Titus, Paul offered him helpful instructions and guidelines for his role in the church. He not only taught but modeled how to “teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine” (2:1), set “an example by doing what is good,” and “show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech” (vv. 7–8). As a result, Titus became his partner, brother, and coworker (2 Corinthians 2:13; 8:23)—and a mentor of others.

Many of us have benefited from a mentor—a teacher, coach, grandparent, youth leader, or pastor—who guided us with their knowledge, wisdom, encouragement, and faith in God. Who could benefit from the spiritual lessons you’ve learned in your journey with Jesus?
