Sermon Tone Analysis

THE REMINDER VS 3-4

Paul starts by reminding Timothy of the charge he gave him

-He reminds him of the strong passion withwhich he gave the charge.

“URGED” (besought) - communicates a pleading

-or a begging...

-This coupled with the facts that we know Timothy is young and timid, could indicate that Timothy had considered abandioning the mission that Paul had put him on.

-He could have felt inadiquet for the task

-struggled with the wise sounding arguments of the false teachers.

-He knew sound doctrine, but maybe he didnt quite now how to refute false doctrine.

So Paul reminds him how....

“charge certain persons not to teach any differnt doctrine..”

-Young Timothy was to command the false teachers to stop.

-Where would young timothy find such authority to command such a thing?

-He would use Paul’s apostolic authority…that teaching of the apostles…just like today we would use the authority of God’s word

THESE FALSE TEACHERS WERE NOT YOUR AVERAGE CHURCH MEMBERS WHO HAVE A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING OF SOUND DOCTRINE.

THE TEXT IMPLIES THAT THESE FALSE TEACHERS WERE IN THE ROLE OF PASTORS.

VS 7…HE SEE THEIR TEACHERS OF THE LAW

The emphasis on 1 Tim upon the qualifications of pastors…indictates likely unqualified men teacher

We see the doctrine they taught was a “different doctrine”

AND WE KNOW THAT IT PROMOTED SPECULATIONS RATHER THAN THE STEARDSHIP FROM GOD THAT IS BY FAITH

This refers the the Gospel itself...

II.

THE GOAL Vs5-7

Love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith

LOVE - IS THE MARK OF A CHRISTIAN

-This is agape

-Love that is a product of the will…decision to love.

-True god honoring love.

this love comes from 3 pleases.

A Pure HEart

A pure hear comes from GOD

After David’s sin with Bathsheba

2. Good conscience

The conscience is a faculty of humanity that sort of self judges us.

Conscience refers to an individual’s inner awareness of the moral quality of personal actions

-It both condemns and affirms our actions

-Sometimes it bings guilt or remorse

-Sometimes it gives us a sense of happiness, peace, and accomplishment

_good conscience connotes a conscience that brings satisfaction and well-being

-That approves of your godly actions and sound doctrine

3. Sincere faith

-The core of sound doctrine is held too

-guiniune desire to live out the principles of your faith with true trust in God and a real walk with Christ

Theres things are not possessed by the false teachers.

THE CORRECTION

PAUL WISHED TO MAKE CLEAR THAT HE IS NOT CONDEMNING HTE LAW, BUT THOSE WHO CLAIMED TO BE TEACHERS OF THE LAW

WHATS THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW?

I. REVEALS GOD’S HOLY CHARACTER TO MANKIND

II.

SETS APART GOD’S PEOPLE FROM OTHERS

(1) Reveal the holy character of the eternal God to the nation of Israel (; ).

III.

REVEALS THE WICKEDNESS OF OUR HEARTS AND NEED FOR A SAVIOR

(2) Set apart the nation of Israel as distinct from all the other nations ().

-Notice i said it reveals our need for a savior, not that the law is our savior.

IV.

THE OT SACRIFICAL SYSTEM POINTS US TO THE NEED FOR ATONEMENT IN ONE TRUE SACRIFICE FOR ALL SIN

(3) Reveal the sinfulness of man (cf.

).

Although the Law was good and holy (), it did not provide salvation for the nation of Israel.

“No one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin” (; cf. ).

OUR VIEW, UNDERSTANDING, AND FOLLOWING OF THE LAW, MUST BE ROOTED IN THE GOSPEL OF GRACE NOT LEGALISM

(6) Provide God’s direction for the physical and spiritual health of the nation (; ; ).

-WE MUST KEEP IT IN THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE.

(7) Cause people, after Christ came, to see that they couldn’t keep the Law but needed to accept Christ as personal Savior, for He had fulfilled the Law in His life and paid the penalty for our breaking it in His death, burial, and bodily resurrection (; ).

The believer in Christ has the very righteousness of the Law fulfilled in him as he obeys the Holy Spirit who lives within him ().

The purpose of the Mosaic Law raises these questions: “Are you trusting in yourself to keep all the Ten Commandments all the time (which you can’t do)?” OR “Have you made the choice to accept Jesus as your Savior, realizing that He has fulfilled all the commandments all the time for you, even paying your penalty for breaking them?”

The choice is yours.
