This charge I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
In Romans, Paul said the law is not a terror to a good person. It's only a terror to the evil person ( Romans 13:3 ). You shouldn't be terrified when you see a policeman unless you're a bank robber or something. You see, if you're guilty of violating the law, then the law becomes something that you're frightened of, something that you dislike. But if you're an honest, upright principled citizen, you appreciate the law. You appreciate those who are enforcing the law because they're making it possible for you to live in this area. And if it weren't for the law and those who are enforcing the law, we would be living in an intolerable condition because there are those out there who need that kind of a bridle.
