Titus 1:3: At The Proper Time

This bible study episode delves into the order of salvation (Ordo Salutis), contrasting Reformed and Arminian perspectives, emphasizing God's sovereign election. Pastor Anthony explores salvation's narrative arc—creation, fall, redemption, and glorification—using Joel Beeke's framework. Key biblical passages (Titus 1, 1 Corinthians 15, Galatians 4, 1 Timothy 2, Romans 10) are examined to illuminate the fulfillment of the law in Christ ("telos"), clarifying that Christ's arrival marked the "fullness of time." The crucial role of preaching the Gospel ("euangelion") in revealing God's plan for eternal life is stressed, highlighting Paul's divinely appointed ministry and the enduring importance of proclaiming Christ crucified. The episode concludes by addressing the nature of Jesus as God ("God our Savior" in Titus 2:13), countering arguments from Jehovah's Witnesses using scriptural evidence and a concise analogy, and promising a further discussion on this topic next week. #reformedtheology #ordosalutis #salvation #gospel #jesuschrist #paultheapostle #scripturetruth #TheologyPodcast #christianpodcast #biblestudy 00:09:00 - Titus & Salvation's Order03:55 - God, Evil, & Salvation07:39 - Defining the Gospel11:08:59 - Christ, Scripture, & Law14:34 - Christ: Law's End17:57 - God's Salvation Timing24:59 - God's Plan & Preaching28:23 - Preaching God's Word35:17 - Jesus: Engaging Jehovah's Witnesses37:59 - Trinity, Grace, & LutherPodcast: www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!
