True Faith: Reflections on Paul's Letter to Titus

Publisher Description

Synopsis: It is difficult today to discern much of a difference between Christians and non-Christians. The person who claims to be a Christian with saving faith seems no different from the one who claims otherwise. In this context, many are left wondering what true faith is. This brief study on Paul's letter to Titus addresses the question of what it means to be a genuine follower of Jesus Christ. May this book challenge you to explore afresh the necessity of pursuing good works in view of God's free gift of salvation! Endorsements: Dr. Paul Jeon introduces Paul's letter to Titus with clarity and simplicity. The book is just right for Bible Study. It will benefit both church members and church leaders by bringing out the Apostle's instructions in a way highly applicable to our church life. I especially enjoyed Jeon's honest approach to the relation of salvation and Christian behavior. As always, Scripture resolves matters we tend to confuse, like grace and works, faith and deeds. Howard Griffith Academic Dean/Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary "Paul Jeon effectively, eloquently, and efficiently encourages all of us through this study to live out our true hope of eternal life not in isolation, but in a local church-strengthening, outward-oriented, good works-pursuing, and culture-transforming way--all through the lens of the gospel. Although the Apostle Paul's letter to Titus is short, its depth, relevancy, and timelessness were made all the more clear to me through this book. I highly recommend it!" John C. Kim President, Jesus Awakening Movement for America/All Nations Author Biography: Paul Jeon (PhD, Catholic University of America) is the lead pastor of NewCity, a church-plant in Northern Virginia.
