Surrendered Specimen
"Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith." (1 Timothy 1:5 NKJV) Although the making of an Apostle Paul from a little Timothy appears to be subject to an absolute adherence to the commandments of God, the willingness to surrender the heart to the working of the Spirit is the prerogative of the man. It implies that mutual co-operation between the man of a polluted heart and the holy word of God is required in order to achieve the divine purpose. Only a surrendered specimen is open to the tool of God's two-edge sword through the school of holiness, righteousness and faith.
