16 Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.
DISCIPLINE IS AN EXAMPLE
Being prepared for godly parenting requires a close, daily walk with God. After all, He is the father of all mankind. He has had billions of children! And He has recorded his thoughts and experiences as an example for our parenting journey. Read the Bible through the lens of parenting, and you will be amazed at the wealth of knowledge it contains.
In this passage Paul told Timothy he needed to be disciplined in his life before he could be effective in the lives of others. Later he told him where the ultimate example is found, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Tim 3:16-17 NIV).
Bible study helps you emulate God and lets His wisdom shine through you.
