We are called to grow. We are called to be fruitful Christians. The moment we become complacent is the moment we start losing ground. It’s doesn’t say to “Stand in a worthy manner,” it says to “walk in a worthy manner.” Nothing is ever stagnant in this life. Paul refers to life as a race. Timothy takes it a step further and sees it as a fight. We must constantly be vigilant, moving, training ourselves in the knowledge of our faith so that we are effective in a world that needs very real and alive representatives of Christ.
