Wednesday 10 July 1 Timothy 2: 1-15 Qn. 2

Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (4): Man’s salvation depends only on our Mediator between us and God, who is Jesus Christ. He who agreed to come into the world suffersd, died, was buried, and rose to live forever, just as we who believe in him will equally live eternally. The fact that God wants us all to be saved does not mean that God is going to instantly instill in all people of the world the nature of worshipping Him, and adoring Him. On the contrary, man has been given the freedom of choice between good and bad (Deut 30.15, John 5.39-40). Who profess godliness—with good works (10): The way a person dresses can reveal his heart, thoughts and behaviors. In Ephesus there were principles that characterized the Church, so Paul wrote this letter showing how women and men should behave in the Church. Paul emphasizes that more than physical clothing, a Christian should wear good works. Zirikana: A good Christian is one who takes care of himself and looks good, but the first thing he wears is a heart full of virtue. Song. 68 (Praises).
