The Obedient Family (Part 2)- The Books of 1 and 2 Timothy

The Obedient Family (Part 2)- The Books of 1 and 2 Timothy


Some time later Paul's travels take him by Ephesus again. The family there needs help, so Paul leaves with them Timothy, his "true son in the faith."


"As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer" (1 Timothy 1:3).

As Paul travels on, he writes back twice. We call these letters 1 and 2 Timothy. They remind Timothy and the Ephesians of the church's importance as God's family.

"Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:14-15).


Today, for many people, the word "church" means a division of Christianity, or a building belonging to such a group.Earthly 'temples' - and worse - earthly 'divisions' are the opposite of what the Bible means by the word "church." In 1 Timothy 3:15, "the church" is singular, and it is none other than "God's household." Many men have two or more households. This happens through divorce. It also happens when men move to cities for jobs. A man may have his first family with his country wife, then another family with his city wife. Did God do something like that as we moved to the modern age? He had one family in the first century. Does He now have many families from many mistresses? Paul's letters to Ephesus remind us that God is not an adulterer that produces separate families. The one Father has one family.















The Books of 1 and 2 Timothy



This Father's saving seed is His word. Paul, therefore, appeals to Timothy to faithfully pass along "the pattern of sound teaching" (2 Timothy 1:13). Indeed, the church is "the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). In Paul's day, the temple of Artemis provides the grandest example of a huge foundation. Its platform measures about 425 by 240 feet (129.54 by 73.15 meters). Over a hundred columns reach to a height of 60 feet (18.29 meters), which makes the temple visible for miles around.


Other buildings in Ephesus have such firm foundations that, despite many earthquakes, they still survive (and still attract tourists today). In a spiritual sense, God's family is like that, solid and dependable, lifting the truth high for all to see and hear. But the truth costs Paul his freedom, his reputation, his friends, his living, and finally his life. 2 Timothy is Paul's farewell letter, written shortly before he receives the death sentence.


Dear Members or Friends, True Disciples or Leaders and Rulers

Lord Jesus' first disciples included His apostles. But they were not the last disciples, for He trained them to train others.

"Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

Jesus our King did not say, "Make believers." A person may have some sort of belief, but never become a disciple. Our King Jesus does not say, "Make worshipers." People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples. All disciples believe and worship, but not all 'believers' and 'worshipers' are disciples. Our savior and King Jesus commands, "Make disciples." That term, as commonly used at that time, means, "Train learners who are committed to following their Teacher's instruction and example." Lord and our healer Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying, "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20). Some refer to Matthew 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission. It may be more difficult to fulfill, but it is essential for spiritual health as you "grow up in your salvation." Hearing and obeying Christ our Lord and Savior, these are like air to the disciple. To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple.
