What is the significance of Paul not taking a title?

Answered in 1 source

Paul’s refusal to adopt a title reflects his humility and focus on serving Christ rather than seeking personal recognition.

By introducing himself simply as 'Paul' and referring to himself as a servant of Jesus Christ, Paul sets a powerful example of humility in ministry. In a culture that emphasizes title and status, Paul’s focus on being a servant underscores the heart of true leadership within the church. His identity is rooted in his service to Christ, rather than in any human title he could claim. This highlights a key theme in sovereign grace theology—servanthood over self-promotion, aligning with the notion that greatness in God’s kingdom is measured by one’s willingness to humbly serve others for His glory.
