1 Timothy 4:6-10 If you put the brothers in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ… I. A man's goodness as a minister of Christ IS DISCLOSED IN THE FAITHFULNESS OF HIS SUBORDINATION TO THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST. II. A man's goodness as a minister of Christ is disclosed IN THE PERSISTENCY OF HIS ADHERENCE TO THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST. III. A man's goodness as a minister of Christ is disclosed IN THE STEADFASTNESS OF HIS IMITATION OF THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST. IV. Lastly, a man's goodness as a minister of Christ is disclosed IN THE DEVOUTNESS OF HIS DEPENDENCE ON THE GRACE OF CHRIST. (J. Brock, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. |
