In Session Twelve, Paul urges Timothy to flee from sin and pursue a life marked by godliness. He encourages him to fight the good fight of faith by taking hold of eternal life and staying blameless until Christ returns. Paul’s charge to Timothy becomes a charge to us as well: to reject sin and live with a steadfast, Christ-centered devotion that shapes every part of our lives.
