Paul had begun his charge to Timothy by urging him to warn the false teachers in Ephesus to stop devoting themselves to useless “myths.”  From there, he explained the true nature of the Gospel, on which Timothy was to focus. 

 

With the final verses of chapter 1, Paul commands Timothy to fight the good fight – a calling that rests on all Christians.  Three things emerge in these verses: 1) Holding Firmly to Our Faith is a Battle We Must Be Ready For; 2) We Are to Live in Light of What We Learn from God’s Word; and 3) Rejecting God’s Truth and Will for Our Lives Brings Real Trouble.

 

Cling to God’s truth and let it lead you into right living.
