In his message, Kumar reflects on the importance of guarding the "good deposit" entrusted to believers, as emphasized in 1 and 2 Timothy. He shares his personal journey of preparation and divine guidance, highlighting a dream that led him to focus on these letters. Kumar explains that the "good deposit" refers to the costly gospel and the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ, which believers must protect amidst a world filled with conflicting knowledge. He discusses the contrasting circumstances of Paul when writing to Timothy, emphasizing the need for vigilance in faith. Kumar urges the congregation, especially the younger members, to seek guidance from elders and to be prepared to share the gospel at any moment. He stresses the collective responsibility of the church to guard this deposit, warning against the dangers of false teachings and the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, he reassures that while challenges may arise in guarding this deposit, God promises to keep believers blameless until His return. Kumar concludes with a prayer, encouraging everyone to commit to protecting their faith.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
