Timothy was blessed with something very valuable. The apostle Paul reminded him, "From childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation" (2 Timothy 3:15). Just think! Before reaching adulthood, Timothy was already familiar with the writings of God's instruction book! How much was that worth? Priceless!
Paul also reminded Timothy of "from whom you have learned" the Holy Scriptures (verse 14). What was that source?
It's quite obvious from reading 2 Timothy 1:5, where Paul wrote, "I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice." His mother and grandmother had taught him God's Word and had been role models of faith!
Parents have the primary responsibility for teaching God's words and ways to their children, and sometimes grandparents and other family members can help as well.
Concerning God's words, Moses was inspired to write, "Teach them to your children and your grandchildren" (Deuteronomy 4:9). Why is this so important? First, God's Word is the most important subject by far for our children! It should take priority over all the many other subjects we want our children to learn.
