What’s Old is What’s New

Timothy’s job in Ephesus was to charge certain persons to stop teaching a different doctrine. There were some within Ephesian church who were mishandling the law, and who did not understand the gospel. Their teaching was leading to ungodly behavior, but the apostle Paul reminds us that genuine gospel teaching leads to holiness and sanctification, resulting in a pure heart that loves God and others. We also discover that the false teachings of today are very similar to the false teachings the early church had to face. (1 Timothy 1.3-11) January 15, 2023
