(Lesson 4924) (07-25-25) 1st Timothy 2:1-8
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”
In today’s quote, Paul urged Timothy to be strong in faith and the grace of Jesus. He instructed Timothy to pass on the teachings of Christ to hardworking and faithful men capable of teaching others. Paul compared Christian service to that of good employees, each requiring discipline, endurance, and hard work. He reminded Timothy that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead according to the gospel he continued to preach. ~
