As for this section - we review the two letters that Paul wrote to Timothy (the fifteenth and sixteenth books of the New Testament). Our summary of these books are as follow:
Written by Paul in Corinth c. 49 - 54 AD as two 'Letters to Timothy.'
These were to give Timothy guidance on how he (and for us today) is to address false teachings about Jesus along with his guidance on growing in faith and in working with others to best achieve positive relationships that are faith based (how our church families should strive to live).
And then in his second letter (while in prison and near the end of his life), Paul reminds Timothy (and us in faith) to not be fearful or disappointed in our faith but to do all we can to grow in faith and to help others to come to faith.
From these two letters, we see how Paul encourages Timothy as new pastor (and for us now), how to lead in the church, how to address false teachers, how to be faithful, and how to embrace the authority of God's word and to live a Godly life.
