Faithful keeper of Truth in our walk of life
~ Pastor G Khankham
Scripture: II Timothy 3:10-14
Paul, a new creation, who boasts of the works of Jesus Christ alone and a faithful keeper of the Truth lies behind a curtain of an old self, a casuist and an epitome of a Law-follower person coming from a Hebrew lineage.
His Jesus-counter on his way to Damascus broke him through the confines of religious barriers that had him turnover his mission towards the Gospel of Jesus free from the shackles of the law.
On his second missionary journey, he met Timothy. Rightly, Timothy became an ardent believer. Even then Paul considered him as a true son in the faith.
Most important theology he advised Timothy which is as much important as in our everyday's journey; Doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions and afflictions.
Challenging hour :
- Like paul, Are we well-versed with what we believe or doctrine?
- Like Paul, Do we live according to our faith? Can we put confidence on that?
- Like Paul, do we have the passion and spirit of love on the unbeliever?
- Like Paul, when he is able to praise God even in times of serving behind the bar, can we pass the test of our faith in times of our own suffering? For Faith involves the attachment of our endurance and perseverance.
The greater we grow spiritually, the greater the temptation the devil might throw upon us. So we are to remain steadfast and continue holding the Truth and yes, like Paul.
