1Ti 1:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : Paul gives Timothy a blessing: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Timothy 1:2 ). In these letters to Timothy and Titus, Paul adds “mercy” to the usual blessing of “grace and peace.” This shows that ministers need extra mercy and grace from God to do their work well and to be forgiven for their mistakes. If Timothy, who was a strong leader, needed God’s mercy, then every Christian worker today needs it even more.
