My God and My Country

1 Timothy 4:6 1599 - Geneva Bible

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, which hast been nourished up in the words of faith, and of good doctrine which thou hast continually followed.


Father God, help me to understand your word this morning. Forgive my sinful nature. - Amen

Brethren:

The Apostle exhorts Timothy to be, in all ways, a preacher of sound doctrine. Do not turn away from it. Turn neither to the left or the right (Read Deuteronomy 5:32), but instead stay on the the path that has been taught to you. In this way you will be a good pastor of the Word of God, that is the Gospel of Christ. - R.P. Woitowitz Sr.

“By acting as I command thee, thou wilt show that thou art a good minister of Jesus Christ, and that thou hast been nourished from thy youth upon the doctrines of faith. The apostle seems to allude here to Timothy's Christian education. Where unto thou hast attained and which thou hast thoroughly understood.” - Adam Clarke
