Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. I Timothy 4:15
Paul's prescription to Timothy for spiritual growth and success is found in these scriptures. Read, exhort, teach the scriptures, and don't neglect your spiritual gifts. Take pains with these things and be absorbed in them, and let your progress be evident to all. Do any of these things describe our effort in Bible study and teaching? If our spiritual progress will be evident to anyone, won't we have to increase the effort we put forward to learn and teach? Let's resolve to take pains, be absorbed, and use the spiritual gifts within us to grow. It will be the key to our salvation and hopefully the salvation for someone else too.
