First Epistle to Timothy

In his Introduction to The First Epistle to Timothy - An Expository Outline, the author declares:

''The apostle writes to instruct us that the great purpose of the hosue of God is to be a witness in the world that God is a Saviour God, 'who will have all men to be saved.'' God's desire is that, by the church, there should be in the world a collective testimony to Himself in all His holiness and grace as a Saviour God. To present this testimony we must know the order of God's house and the behaviours suited to His house.
