I love this verse! Guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge. Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness. 1 Timothy 6. 20-21
I'm not sure why Paul wrote that to Timothy but I can tell you what the Holy Spirit showed me while reading that verse. YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE! And you have to guard that. If you are a believer, a follower of Christ, this is who you are:
A child of God, born again, justified, crucified, risen, a partaker of His Divine Nature, forgiven, called, saved by grace through faith, blessed with all spiritual blessings, the light of the world, in Christ, complete in Him, a new creature. Redeemed, loved , sanctified, delivered from the powers of darkness, reconciled. An heir of God and joint heir with Christ. Gods gift to Christ. More than a conqueror, secure. The righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Free of condemnation.
You are what you are because of the grace of God. Paul knew this. He KNEW this. He stated that everything else in his life counted as rubbish compared to this! Know who you are. Guard it with everything in you; be ready when Satan comes your way to fill your mind with rubbish. He loves to attack you through your thought life and LOVES to use the people around you bring you down. Don't let him. You attack him back and repeat that paragraph up there. All of a sudden, you won't hear from Satan again for awhile.
This is my gift to you! Merry Christmas!
