Timothy, a younger man who sought earnestly to serve God, received instruction from the Apostle Paul, learned to be OBEDIENT and FAITHFUL to the calling of God despite past ignorance, unbelief or rebellion.

  Characterizing himself to be the worst of sinners, the Apostle Paul writes a WORD picture, as we walk past the outer court, through the Holy Place and into HIS Presence in the Most Holy Place!

  This was by the direction of Holy Spirit, whom God gave as a deposit or an earnest, to those who have believed in HIS Son, Christ Jesus, accepted HIM as Lord and Savior and are continually desiring to follow HIS examples, portraying Christ to the unbelieving and lost in the world around them.
