II Timothy 1 says Retain the standard of sound words which you
have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard,
through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.
Have you ever heard words being taught,
instruction being given, or even scripture being used in ways that just don’t
seem right? I have. That’s not sound teaching. If we’re hearing words that are not laced
with faith and love, grounded in the truth of God’s word, then they are not
sound words.
However, when we hear sound teaching, teaching
that resonates and changes our hearts to lean in more to Him and his love for
us, we need to retain those words.
In fact, we need to guard those words and keep
them close to our hearts, and in our
minds, daily.
God’s words are treasures.
He entrusts those treasures to us, when we sit
and listen to sound teaching.
And when faith and love result from hearing those words,
it’s up to us to respond.
