Introduction: Mentoring is God’s will. Do you have someone you are discipling? Notice the instructions from Paul to his son in the Lord, Timothy.

1. Be Strong! (2Tim 2:1)

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”

It’s all of GRACE! God’s GRACE, which is greater than our sin!! Because of God’s Grace, be strong. Jesus Christ was strong. Though He was God, He was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. However, after dying for our sins, He conquered the grave! Our strength comes from His resurrection power. If you feel weak, draw strength from Him.

2. Be Teachable! (2Tim 2:2)

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses…”

Once we become unreachable or develop a prideful attitude, then we become no longer useful for the Lord until we confess it as sin. Are you hungry for truth? Are you obeying truth? Stay humble and hungry.

3. Pass it On! (2Tim 2:2)

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

Our goal from learning truth is first to apply it, and then to pass it on. Are you passing it on?
