FOCAL TEXT: 1 Timothy 1 vs 13►►”Although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.~| NKJV |_____________________________________
BLISSFUL greetings Cherished one. According to our focal text, the Apostle unveils to us human behaviour. *People’s behaviour is determined by their knowledge and belief systems. People also behave by their ignorance of certain truths.* He admitted that he was formerly a blasphemer, persecutor and insolent man because he did it ignorantly in unbelief.
This implies that people who live according to the knowledge of Christ and believe in Him behave differently from those who don’t. *Believing in Christ makes you become a child of God which intend transforms your thinking, speech and lifestyle (behaviour).* This is so true because when he believed in Christ he didn’t remain a blasphemer, persecutor or lived in insolence again. Beloved, we all deal with both believers and unbelievers; so you ought to grow in the knowledge of God’s word to empower you do so in wisdom.
