Titus 1:2
_ _ In hope of eternal life — connected with the whole preceding sentence. That whereon rests my aim as an apostle to promote the elect’s faith and full knowledge of the truth, is, “the hope of eternal life” (Titus 2:13; Titus 3:7; Acts 23:6; Acts 24:15; Acts 28:20).
_ _ that cannot lie — (Romans 3:4; Romans 11:29; Hebrews 6:18).
_ _ promised before the world began — a contracted expression for “purposed before the world began (literally, ‘before the ages of time’), and promised actually in time,” the promise springing from the eternal purpose; as in 2 Timothy 1:9, the gift of grace was the result of the eternal purpose “before the world began.” |
Titus 1:2
In hope of eternal life — The grand motive and encouragement of every apostle and every servant of God. Which God promised before the world began — To Christ, our Head. |
Titus 1:2
In (c) hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, (d) promised before the (e) world began;
(c) Hope is the end of faith.
(d) Freely and only from his generosity.
(e) See 2 Timothy 1:9 |
