Paul warns young Timothy to avoid time-sucking useless controversies and influence those caught up in them to focus on God’s revealed plan.
This is a very specific piece of advice. I’m sure Timothy received it well but I’m not sure about the “certain people” caught up in this drama.
God’s Word was not given to us as theory, but to reveal his character and his son, Jesus.
The law is a mirror that shows what we are apart from Christ (v.9-10).
Focus on the revealed Christ Jesus!
It is possible to know Bible knowledge, trivia, and complicated theories and miss knowing Jesus.
Father, help me stay grounded on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
