“For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.”
1 Corinthians 4:17 KJV
Paul writes to the church at Corinth that he has sent his beloved son Timothy to them who is rock-solid in his faith. Timothy will remind them of Paul and reinforce Paul’s specific message and emphasis in every place and church Paul had visited. Paul’s emphasis is unique in the way he teaches the “in Christ” and the “Christ in you”, and Christ’s finished work Gospel. There is no other Gospel in spite of the many so-called Christian products branded ‘Gospel’. If any hint of the law remains, it is not good news but merely religious people’s ideas, distracting from the Gospel of Christ. Let’s remain true to the Gospel of grace, this glorious mystery of Christ to the nations. To be a Christian is to be Christ-like - the sonship given to all mankind through faith in the finished work of Christ! Hallelujah!
