2nd Timothy 3:14-15 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Besieged by false teachers and the inevitable pressures of a growing ministry, Timothy could easily have abandoned his faith or modified his doctrine. Once again Paul counseled Timothy to look to his past, and to hold to the basic teachings about Jesus that are eternally true.
Timothy was one of the first second-generation Christians: he became a Christian not because an evangelist preached a powerful sermon, but because his mother and grandmother had taught him the Scriptures when he was a small child (1-5). A parent’s work is vitally important. At home and in Church, we should realize that teaching small children is both an opportunity and a responsibility. Jesus wanted little children to come to him (Mathew 19:13-15). Like Timothy’s mother and grandmother, Eunice and Lois, do you part in leading children to Christ.
For Timothy, the “holy Scriptures” was the Old Testament. The Old Testament is important because it points to Jesus Christ. At the same time, faith in Christ makes the whole Bible intelligible.
Lets Bring it Home: Like Timothy, we are surrounded by false teachings. But we must not allow our society to distort or crowed out God’s eternal truth. Spend time every day reflecting on the foundation of your Christian faith found in God’s Word, the great truths that build up your life.
