    About this ebook

    In their search for God and their quest to live a life worthy of God, individuals exhibit a strong need to reflect on what has been revealed through Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit.

    They engage in Bible study, Bible discussions, devotions, and scriptural meditation, whether individual or group. This book is a resource inspired by the Spirit to reach far within the depths of understanding Scripture and reinforcing the principles therein. Pastors and scholars have utilized the workings for discussions, lectures, sermons. Students have enhanced and increased their personal knowledge of God and developed a more intimate relationship with God. Rev. Dr. Paul C. Jones has provided a step-by-step walk through the Scriptures, whereby God may speak to ones mind, heart, and soul.

      From what location was the book written?

      Setting or location:

      What was the main purpose of this letter?

      What does the name Timothy mean?

      Who taught Timothy the Old Testament Scriptures during his childhood (2 Tim. 1:5; 3:15)?

      Who was Timothy’s father (Acts 16:1)?

      What ethnicity or nationality was Timothy?

      Where was Timothy raised (Acts16:1–3)?

      What is the name of the collection of books of which 1 Timothy is the first book?

      Note: The city of Ephesus was known for accommodating the Greek god Artemis (Diana). It appears that there was trouble in the church because of some people who had been members of the church for a long time. These members were promoting false teachings (abstinence from marriage and from certain foods, ungodly interpretations of the Scriptures, materialism, false qualifications of leadership) and were causing turmoil, confusion, and anarchy, all of which led to disputes, division, and even withdrawal from the faith.

      Book Blueprint
