Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ.

Text : 1 Timothy 1 -11

There are two important lessons to learn from this passage. The first is about the relationship between the Apostle Paul and his spiritual son, Timothy. Although Paul was the one who converted Timothy, Paul never returned his attention as a mentor, from him. He encouraged him to remain focused on the true faith and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Brother have you ever made a convert or lead anyone to Christ Jesus? Are you aware that you have a responsibility not only to pray for them but to ensure that they remain in the grace of God and in the acknowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? Not to do so is to expose them to the danger of falling away.
The second lesson is that even in the 1st century of the christian era, there was a poliferation of false teachers whose teaching were basically distortions of the Old Testament Laws and the formulation of false but "fanciful " philosophies which had actually crept into the church. They were contrary to the Gospel of Grace of Christ. Can you identify some of them in today's world/church? What is your attitude towards the spread of these false religions and philosophy? Paul admonished Timothy not to engage in unnecessary arguments - they are a worthless exercise. Rather, what you and I should do is to continuously deepen our knowledge of the truth of the World of God, teach it and live by it. Thus, we shall save our souls and those of them who look up to us.
