Every Christian is called to be a servant of GodPaul writes in 2 Timothy that every believer, whether young or old, is called to be a full-time servant and witness for Christ.
The Lord's bondservant must never be quarrelsomeA servant of God must refuse to fight or argue about doctrines, because love and connection with Jesus are what truly win people over.
Be kind to all and able to teachBelievers should be kind to everyone, especially those who are unkind, and share whatever little they know of Jesus because there are always those who know less.
Patiently correcting those in oppositionWhen wronged or opposed, believers must respond with patience and gentleness so that God may grant repentance to those held captive by the devil.
Learning patience through family lifeHusbands and parents should show mercy rather than impatience, recognizing that difficult family members are professors sent by God to teach patience.
Confessed sins are cleansed by ChristGod cleanses us from all unrighteousness when we confess our sins, and we only need to confess a sin once rather than repeating it over and over.1 John 1:9
Bringing hidden things into the lightConfession means bringing what was hidden in darkness out into the light, which allows fellowship with God and immediate cleansing by the blood of Jesus.
Taking personal responsibility instead of blaming othersInstead of blaming spouses, neighbors, or others like Adam did, believers must take personal responsibility for their wrongs so they do not face unconfessed sin at the judgment seat.
