Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Ti 1:2) “To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” Notice Paul’s embracing of Timothy as his son. Paul has never been married. At the point of your salvation experience, you were adopted into God’s family: (Rom 8:15b) “…. ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” The saved, your local church, is your family. Yet, the average person keeps themselves away enough never to develop the relationship, much less the Bible mentality. This is a great failing.
