Fighting the Good Fight
Paul charges Timothy to remain faithful to the calling God placed on his life. Ministry is not passive—it requires guarding truth, maintaining a clear conscience, and courageously confronting error. When faith is abandoned and conscience ignored, spiritual shipwreck follows. God calls His people not only to believe rightly, but to live rightly, standing firm even when it’s costly.
God’s Mercy Towards the Chief of Sinners
1 Timothy 1:12-17 shows us that the immortal, invisible, king of the universe is merciful and patient towards sinners such as Paul who serves as an example for others. We can look at Paul and know that the worst of sinners can be saved. For those of us who have experienced God’s mercy, our lives also attest to the fact that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
The Lawful Use of God’s Law
From 1 Timothy 1:8–11, Paul teaches that the law is good when rightly applied — revealing sin and pointing to the gospel. Discover how law and grace work together to uphold sound doctrine and lead us to Christ.
Gospel Doctrine: Its Importance, Goal, and the Danger of Swerving from It
In 1 Timothy 1:1-7 Paul details the importance of sound doctrine grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The goal of this teaching is to produce in us a love for God and others. Swerving from this results in problems for both the individual and the church.
