1 Timothy 1:1-14 The goal of instruction

Read 1 Timothy 1:1-14



Read verse 5 again:


The goal of instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. (CEB)
Knowing that the goal of spiritual instruction is love enables you to clarify your condition as you start and progress toward that goal.

For a pure heart, what feelings towards someone do you need to acknowledge and change? Toward yourself?

For a good conscience, what thoughts do you need to redirect? What subjects do you need to ignore except in prayer?

For a sincere faith, in what ways are you trying to fool God? To fool yourself?
