1 Timothy – Week 12 – Day 5

READ 

1 Timothy 6:21 

21 Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness. 

May God’s grace be with you all. 

Paul ended his letter to Timothy with the sad note of what some people have done because of the foolishness Paul was urging Timothy to avoid. Paul’s final words in his letter to Timothy were: “May God’s grace be with you all.” Paul had been a practicing Pharisee before his conversion and did not know about the grace of God. After trusting in Jesus as Savior, however, Paul was overwhelmed with the thought of God’s grace. He realized he was saved only because of God’s grace that had nothing to do with his meritorious works. 

REFLECT 

Has the thought of the grace of God gripped your heart also? 

RESPOND 

Read some verses that remind you of the grace of God. Check out Romans 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:8-9; Colossians 1:6; and 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12. Talk with a Christian friend about being thankful for God’s grace and how you can tell others about it.
