“And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 3:15)
Even though Paul refers to Timothy as his “son in the faith,” he does not leave us to wonder about where Timothy received his knowledge of Scripture. We look back in chapter one of this epistle and Paul is remembering the “unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice” (II Timothy 1:5) Then he tells us in our text that from a child Timothy has known the Holy Scriptures.
What a blessing to see parents and children worshiping together in church under the sound of the preaching and teaching of God’s Word. It is an equal blessing to know that at home and in everyday life children are watching, listening, learning and practicing the faith of Godly parents and grandparents.
Parents and grandparents must take their place as spiritual, Godly leaders of children and grandchildren. Only then will we see our nation turn around from the brink of disaster to which we are now headed.
