First Timothy
Paul’s
trial in Rome came out in his favor, and he was released.
Timothy
was raised in a godly home and came to know Christ through Paul’s ministry.
Paul made Timothy his special assistant at Lystra and eventually sent him to
preach at the church in Ephesus.
First
Timothy is a letter telling preachers how they should conduct themselves. Paul
stresses that Timothy should preach the truth an appoint qualified leaders. His
final instructions to Timothy was to find faithful men, learn how to confront
false teachers, learn how to order the church’s worship, and learn how to
select leaders, finally to conduct himself as a young leader in a difficult
situation, and how to guard his own soul from errors all around him.
There
are times when it is right to retreat and sit by the sidelines, and there are
times when the Lord calls us to step forward and to take action. God mightily
uses those who step forward in faith.
Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to
its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for
