Christian Devotional – August 9, 2022

Teaching and Training, Day 28

What should we be learning? We think about both of these books that Paul has written to Timothy, and the focus has been on helping Timothy understand and learn. But why does that make Timothy any different from anyone else? Read 2 Timothy 3:6-9.

Other people in this day were busy learning as well. However, Paul wanted Timothy to focus on truth.

When we learn, it’s not just about gaining knowledge. We must be gaining truth. There are a lot of things in this world that we can know. The Internet has definitely widened the field of potential knowledge that we have and can know. However, just knowing things is not enough. We have to know truth.

Do we understand the difference between knowledge and truth? We can only find truth in Jesus Christ. If we are not actively seeking Jesus Christ, then we will simply gain knowledge, not truth. Are we seeking the truth today? How can we avoid the trap of just learning more and gaining knowledge instead of actually gaining truth?
