O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:20-21
As the Apostle Paul says multiple times throughout his epistles “Walk Worthy of your calling in The Lord” (Ephesians 4, Colossians 1) Paul ends his first letter to Timothy with these strong words and reminders, we can take these reminders and apply them to our walk also. We need to understand not only will this walk with Christ be difficult, be there is also great responsibility in serving The Lord
The first thing Paul reminds him “Keep or Guard what was committed to your trust” There is a great honor and responsibility entrusted to you as a servant of Christ. You have been entrusted by God to preach the true Word of God, keep and guard this doctrine, as the devil and demons will continue to invade the pulpits and preach heresy to divide and confuse the elect. You have a great honor and responsibility to preach the truth, even when its not popular in todays world and culture
“Avoid profane and worldly chatter and opposition of false knowledge” Jesus called us to be the Salt and the Light, be the Salt and Light, don’t be part of the darkness, expose the darkness. Avoid wasting your time in fruitless debates, keep yourself focused on the Kingdom of God. Our time is alot shorter than we know, we need to remain focused in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of God is at hand
What happens when you allow false doctrine to creep into the Church? As the Apostle Paul warns here “some have strayed concerning the faith” As Satan tries to infilitrate the Church with false doctrine and false teachers, this will lead some astray. But you have been entrusted as a Shepherd of the Church to guard the flock. Fend off the wolves, preach the true gospel, refute the doctrines from demons! This is a higher calling that is not to be taking lightly, fight the good fight of faith!
And as the Apostle Paul closes out this epistle “Grace be to you” this goes to Timothy and all Christians, it is by grace we are saved and its by the grace of God we are Born Again in Christ, that we are equipped and prepared to answer the calling placed upon us by God our Father, Amen!
