Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request. If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,

would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review? This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do

to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.

Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth

of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. Now notice the second half of verse six. See,

if you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ, Jesus,

being trained in the words of the

faith and of a good doctrine that you have followed there's a sense in which Timothy being trained

what what Paul is saying is that Timothy has already been trained there's a past tense that

Timothy has been trained in these things and being trained there's a there's a present tense in which Timothy has been trained in these things and being trained, there's a present tense

in which Timothy has been trained in these things and he is presently being trained in these things.

But as we see, the primary command in our text today, second half of verse 7,

the command of the apostle to Timothy and to all of us is that we, in a future

sense, go on training. Look at the second half of verse 7. Train yourself for godliness.

Now remember, all scripture is for us, not all scripture is to us so so the particular audience that paul has in mind is

timothy so paul is telling timothy train yourself for godliness but when we when we compare the

the end of verse seven train yourself for godliness as a command given to timothy but for all of us when we compare that with what we've

already seen in the second half of verse six of our text well timothy's already been trained right

he's being trained we see paul addressing him elsewhere speaking of his grandmother and mother and

how how he in his even in his childhood he had already been trained. So Timothy has been trained in the past.

He's being trained in the present.

So why is it so imperative?
