Timothy An Example In Scriptural Character Molding
Tuesday 17th February
Text: 2 Timothy 3:15-17
Key Verse: Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in Forth, in purity. 1 Timothy 4: 12
The 'Man of God' referred to in verse 16 of our text is not all about age but faith and holiness. Timothy was a young man of God. Being a youth, Paul charged him, "Let no man despise your youth.” He showed that a man of God through the Scriptures can be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. One of the prominent persons that worked with Apostle Paul was Timothy, and he was a youth.
When it comes to Christianity, youths are not be despised. Goliath made that mistake on David and lost his life. When it comes to Christian service, youths are not to be despised. The glory of the youth is his strength. Therefore, let no man however old he is, despise your youth. You too must not despise yourself and underrate what you can do for Jesus. You can do great things for Jesus. God has chosen you. Paul got a youth as a co-minister with him, worked together and established many churches. There was increase in the churches of Christ. Timothy was a disciple, the son of a Jewess that believed the gospel of Jesus. Not all the Jews believed, but she believed though his father was a Greek. Concerning Timothy's life, he was well reported by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium. People that saw him knew that he was a true Christian. The people in that environment recommended him to Paul because they saw that he was fit to go with him for ministry.
Our Christianity must not be by words alone or by our appearance or service but by our character built up by the Scriptures. It is high time we worked on ourselves, looking inward and taking ourselves to God to mold us and shapen us into His image. Many Christians have disappointed God enough, but the true Christians must arise and shine the true light of the gospel: the gospel of true holiness and righteousness which reflects the true nature of God
