A letter to Timothy, my dear son.
Paul is an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in the Christ Jesus.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the father and Christ Jesus our Load. Greeting words.
Paul have been reminded of Timothy's sincere faith.
Paul serves God with a clear conscience, as day and night pray.
Reminded Timothy to fan into frame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 剛強、仁愛、謹守
God has saved us and called us to a holy life- not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.
This is why I am suffering as I am, Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.
Keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you- guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
This is the last letter of Paul to encourage his followers and Timothy.
Why?
Paul was suffering in prison, so Paul encourage Timothy.
We believed is the mighty God, who can help and protect us for we are doing His way and commands.
The gift of God need to practice many times, then it could more mature to use it.
Onesiphorus is dead when Paul wrote this letter.
Love is from the Load, Faith is the hope to the Load and Holy Spirit will help us to face all challenge. To be a christian is not alone, God is with us. His can guard us until the day is come.
How?
Don't ashamed with all suffering in my life, with the help of the Holy Spirit in me and faith and love in Christ Jesus.
