1 Timothy 6:20-21
20 O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge— 21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

Timothy hears the summary of his charge from Paul. He is to protect and watch over all that has been given him of God’s word and its application to himself and the children of God who are the church. This precious gospel for salvation and sanctification is under attack by fake knowledge, empty reasoning and evil words, by those who wage war under the dragon’s influence against Christ and His children. This gnostic approach of false gospels and perverted messages is ongoing even today, and still leads many astray from the narrow gate and its path of truth by God’s word and the grace of Christ’s righteousness alone. Therefore these final reminders to Timothy and us are to keep us away from psychological storytelling and outright lies, and put our soul’s focus solely on His word as once for all delivered to the saints. His grace is enough and everything, and is most assuredly with us in Christ. Let these things be so. Amen.
