Summary

Timothy’s name means, “One who honors God.” He was a native of Lystra, Paul and Barnabas had visited in conjunction with their First Missionary Journey. It is very possible that Timothy heard and obeyed the gospel, having been raised to respond to God’s Word by his mother and grandmother. Paul apparently wanted to help develop this young man into a faithful Christian and gospel preacher, so Timothy became Paul’s “son in the faith.” Timothy became a close, trusted associate of the apostle Paul, and of great importance to Christians in Ephesus, Philippi, Corinth and other places. One of the great friendships of the Bible and one of the meaningful examples of how the older can lead the younger and how the younger can comfort the older is found in this Paul-Timothy model.
