Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,
in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,
but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
To Titus, a true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

“the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness”
“the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness”
The world back then and now teaches us that truth is known only by a special group.
The world now teaches that truth is only known by professionals, teachers, and Google.
The Word teaches us that the truth can be known to you.
The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), .
“acknowledge” - epignosis (knowledge coming upon you)
Truth is knowledge that has come from God.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jesus kinda said that in
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Jesus is the truth and He has come from God!
Have you received truth from God?
If you have... then you have experienced freedom
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Acknowledging/accepting Jesus makes us godly. - (it is only by Jesus we can come to the Father).
If you are not set free by God then you are either a slave to sin, or a slave to depression, anger, hate, anxiety, irritability, self-pleasure.
If you need freedom then you should read ________

“hope in eternal life… promised long ago”
“hope in eternal life… promised long ago”

But I want you to see more verses like this in the NT - ; ; ; ;
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
a
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
; ; ; ;
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
We are to hope in eternal life.
