Young Church: 1 Timothy
Paul encourages Timothy to fulfill his duty as a messenger of the Gospel by comparing the outcomes of those who surrender to the Gospel and those who refuse to believe and live the Gospel. Therefore, we see that we should surrender to the full work of the Gospel in our lives by both believing and living the Gospel.
Paul charges Timothy to rebuke teachers who have taken their focus off the gospel and caused controversy and a lack of mission. We learn that we have to keep our focus on the gospel so that God continues to do work in us and through us and that we may build up the movement and pursue the mission.
