After telling Timothy that he should be strengthened, in the grace that is in Christ Jesus (v.1), Paul instructed his “son in the faith” to give all that he had heard to faithful and trustworthy men so they can teach others as well. .Now, in these words of the apostle of the Gentiles, we have the best way to please God. In the next topics, we will study what we should enjoy in divine grace and pass onto others.
We are saved by faith, but our true salvation will be realized only at Christ’s return and will be done by His grace in us and in any one else who has accepted Him as Savior. He will say to those on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world (Matt. 25:34). Those on the left will be ordered to march toward the lake of eternal fire.
This information should be passed on by someone able to inform all New Testament revelations written in the Old. Certainly, in everyday life, this person would see the true servants of God acting without showing being rebellious or turning away from the Truth. It is not enough to be pleasant and ready to do the work; You must have certain qualifications.
When Apollo came to Ephesus, Priscilla and Aquila saw that he was eloquent, but lacked more knowledge because he knew only until the baptism of John. However, when he heard him, they pointedly told him the way of God. Then, wanting to go further to Achaia, Apollo was encouraged by his brothers, who wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he got there, he helped those who by grace believed in Jesus (Ac 18: 24-28). For her we believe!
We must fortify ourselves in the grace of Christ. Now this strengthening is not found in the prophets nor in the churches around the world. When someone is in Christ and He in them, just believe in prayer. Thus they can take possession of divine promises. In that grace is the power to deliver you from the devil’s lies and make you successful in your faith in Jesus.
God’s grace and the gift of grace are two distinct things. The first fortifies the saved (2 Tim. 2: 1); the second comes from one man, the Lord, and abounded over many (Rom. 5:15). Now the preaching is lacking to awaken the lost to eternal life, that salvation may be revealed to them. This will heal them and give them the prosperity and other things that God has for them. Hallelujah!
Upon receiving the call to ministry, the new pastor becomes able to carry it out as the Lord pleases. Being confirmed by faith fully obeying gospel preachers, the newly consecrated minister is given a capacity before the Father that he never thought existed!
In Christ, with love,

Wise Master! We have to learn what you taught Paul. So who you have given us will been lightened and ready for a mission. The world needs Your direction, which began to be given by Jesus and then by the apostles.
Give us wisdom to find faithful men to continue the work after our departure. Then the Gospel will continue to spread, and people will not be orphaned by the good and necessary teachings. To you be all the glory!
We do not want to run and work in vain, but to make suitable people know and love You. Paul's example must be followed by all! In this way you will be glorified. Amen!
