1 Timothy 4:10-16

For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things. Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe. Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying of hands by the presbytery. Take pains with these things; absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. Pay close attention to yourself and your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

Everyone has their hope on God because there is no hope in this worldly world. There is nothing that we can place our hope in except Jesus; our Lord and Savior. He is the savior of all men. For people who are saved Children of God, we need to go out and spread the Glorious word of Christ to everyone. It is so important that more and more people can hear the word of Christ, so that we continue to keep adding to our family. No one should look at age, but at someone's heart for Christ. We should act in a grateful manner with purity, love, and faith. Our heart for Christ is so important because whatever is stored up in our heart will come out of our mouths. If we have passion and love Christ in our hearts, we will continue to have passion and love for our neighbors, brothers and sisters. We should never abolish the spiritual gifts that we have received from God. These are special gifts that we have been given, and we should use them to the best of our God-Given ability. We should pay close to attention to what we do in the name of Christ because God judges everything that we do.
