The Road of Blessing: Choose godliness

Paul called Timothy his “true son in the faith.” Timothy joined Paul on his second missionary journey and accompanied him for most of the years of his ministry. When Paul left for his fourth journey, he left Timothy behind to continue the preaching ministry in Ephesus, a growing, strategic congregation. The letter of 1 Timothy is written to his protégé, but it is also written to the church. God’s people are often the first introduction the world receives to the Gospel. Paul wanted Timothy and those in the church to lead godly lives and preach the Gospel to those they met.

For Sanctification: Consider your life, not compared to the culture, but compared to the standards that Paul has described. What do you tend to pursue? Do words like content and godly fit your patterns and goals?
