1 Timothy 1 is written by Paul to his young protege minister, Timothy. He gives careful counsel and guidance, warning Timothy of false teachers and encouraging him to hold on to his faith in Christ. Timothy is instructed to lovingly command these false teachers to no longer distract from God's work with meaningless talk, myths, and endless genealogies, which promote controversies. Paul next reminds Timothy of the truth about Christ--- that He "came into the world to save sinners", so that His chosen "would believe on Him and receive eternal life". He encourages Timothy to continue to follow his instruction and "fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience". As Paul says, "now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever". Amen.
