Truth is not Negotiable

1 Timothy 1:1-11

I. Have confidence in your salvation (vv.1-2)

  • Keep teaching sound doctrine
  • By not allowing false teaching
  • By not getting distracted by non-essential, pointless discussion

II. Godly teaching is motivated by love (vv.5-7)

  • Guard your heart, conscience and faith
  • Provides for our victory
  • God is faithful in forgiving our sins

III. We are to use the law properly (vv.8-11)

  • If used properly the law is good
  • The law is made for the unrighteous not the righteous
  • The law condemns unrighteous acts
  • The law brings conviction for sin
  • Sound doctrine conforms to the gospel
