Persons of the Bible: Letter T

The letter T gathers one of the richest collections of names in Scripture—people from every walk of life whom God used to shape His redemptive story. We meet kings and governors, prophets and priests, apostles and early believers, along with families whose names appear only briefly but still bear witness to their place in God’s great tapestry. Figures like Timothy, Titus, and Tola remind us that faithfulness in both public leadership and private obedience matters deeply to the Lord. As we walk through each name, we see again that God uses real people, in real history, to reveal His character and guide His people toward the hope fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
