). This doesn’t mean there aren’t passages that are difficult to understand. However, there’s no secret code needed to unlock Scripture. The Holy Spirit illuminates God’s Word as we study it and hear it taught and proclaimed. He helps us grasp its timeless truths and apply them to our everyday lives.
Most scholars believe Paul wrote this letter to Timothy from a prison in Rome just before he was martyred under the rule of the emperor Nero. He reminded Timothy that all who follow Christ will be persecuted. Timothy was serving as a pastor in Ephesus—a city saturated with idol worship and a church quick to believe false teaching about myths and the need for strict adherence to the Law. Paul reminded Timothy to stay faithful to God and His Word.
False teaching still exists today. It might be a call to ignore sin; a promise that trusting Jesus will result in a happy, prosperous life; or an assertion that we need to live our own truth. It’s appealing and may even sound right at times, making it harder to identify as false and more dangerous to our hearts. That’s why it’s important to thoroughly study Scripture and place ourselves under its authority. As we pore over the Word, the Holy Spirit will help us discern truth from lies.
God has come near to us by gifting us His Word. When it comes to the grand narrative of Scripture, there is no “loosely based on a true story.” It’s all true, which should compel us to obey and worship Him. Want to learn more about this new study?
