Good News Today

1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

Friends, the good news today says WE BELIEVERS SHOULD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO THE COMMUNITY.

In our golden text above, Paul gives five specific areas in which Timothy is to serve as an example. First is his words. Second his actions should reflect an example of godliness. Third, his love was to be an example (1 Timothy 1:5, 14; 2:15). Fourth, Timothy was to be an example in faith. This is similar to 1 Timothy 1:5 where Paul said, “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” Fifth, Timothy’s example was to include his “purity,” both physically in his behavior around young women (1 Timothy 5:2) and in his spirituality (1 Timothy 5:22).

Friends, let us all heed the reminders of Paul, we believers should live in love.

God bless us all. Let’s keep the faith.
