2 Timothy 3:14 KJV
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
The concern of the passage is that Timothy would continue in that which he had learned. The concern is a valid one in that so many are more than pleased to take off in a different direction; to stray from those things they have learned.
My emphasis just now is on that word assured.
Timothy has learned some things from some very prominent people:
• Paul, of course, but also from
• His mother and grandmother
The key is not that he was taught from them. The key is that he was assured of them through the Scriptures.
• It is the Word of God that gives assurance
• It is the Word of God we must learn
• It is the Word of God we must continue in
