(Tit 1:1) “Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect,….” As you read continue to read, you will find that Paul is including himself in the words “according to the faith of God’s elect…..” The elect are the privileged to be saved. They are those known unto God before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:2). As Israel is chosen as a nation, those who repent and are saved are the chosen (elect) to be God’s temple in this present age (dispensation).
