Study of 1st Timothy - Lesson 2
May 2nd, 2008 by admin
Scripture: I Timothy 2:1
As we read through the scriptures we were able to identify some key points that were make throughout our reading. Below is listed some of the main verse’s we had discussions around.
Verse 2 : It talks about how we should focus and pray for those in authority positions, such as our parents, pastor and other spiritual leaders our church. They have large responsibilities and we should all look up to them for guidance and leadership. The influence that is made on us from those in authority positions, should be from the Holy Spirit within them.
Verse 6
Verse 8 : The importance of praying everywhere, without having wrath and doubting. When you actually stop for just a moment and think about it, the devil is around us everywhere we go, he tries to be involved in everything we do to find a way to tempt us or steer us wrongly, he doesn’t ask to come along, he just comes. But God, being the gentleman He is, will only come when He is invited. Let us always pray, whether verbally or within our hearts, we are the only ones that can bring God on the scene. We are the true ambassadors for Christ.
We discussed many of the other verses as well, all of which are extremely edifying. So make the opportunity to reread and study back over this chapter. In my notes I made a notation of a statement that was made by one of the brothers. Christians, both women and men, should not only act different but also look different. We always find ourselves wanting to fit in at school or any events we are involved with, it is easy for us to overlook the fact that we have adopted influences of others. Let us be cautious and aware of our influences and let US BE THE INFLUENCE.
May God Richly Bless You.
