Hofu ilikuwa imemshika moyoni, na kunapokuwa na hofu kama hiyo, hakuna nguvu ya kutiririka dhidi ya mkondo wa ulimwengu unaotuzunguka. Kifupi cha hofu ni: Hofu ni Nishati na Mafungo Isiyo na Imani. Paulo hakutaka hili kwa Timotheo; hakutaka Timotheo amwonee haya Kristo. Paulo anamwelekeza Timotheo kwenye rasilimali nzuri ambayo kila mwamini anayo, nayo ni Mtu katika Utukufu! Neno hilo <em data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"912\">Kristo Yesu<\/em> linatumika angalau mara saba na linamrejelea Bwana Yesu mbinguni akiwa mkono wa kuume wa Mungu\u2014mahali pa nguvu, mamlaka, na rasilimali kwa kila mwamini, bila kujali machafuko gani yanaweza kutokea katika utamaduni wao.<\/p><p data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1869\">Paulo alielewa hofu ya Timotheo, lakini alimtia moyo kwa kushiriki uzoefu wake mwenyewe na kujiamini, akisema, \u201cKwa sababu hii mimi nami nateseka na mambo haya; lakini sioni haya, kwa maana namjua niliyemwamini, na kusadiki kwamba aweza kukilinda kile nilichokiweka amana kwake hata Siku ile\u201d (2 Timotheo 1:12). Katika mstari huu, Paulo anamkumbusha Timotheo\u2014na sisi\u2014kwamba tunahitaji ujuzi binafsi wa Mungu wetu. Angeweza kusema, \u201cNinamjua niliyemwamini.\u201d Kisha anatukumbusha kwamba lazima kuwe na usadikisho binafsi: \u201cNimesadiki kwamba aweza kukitunza.\u201d Tatu, Paulo anatutia moyo kuwa na kujitolea binafsi: \u201cKutunza kile nilichokiweka amana.\u201d Kujiamini kwa Paulo hakukuwa kwake mwenyewe bali kwa Mungu wake, ambaye aweza! Hii inazungumzia nguvu na uweza wa Mungu wetu.<\/p><p data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"2616\">Tunapokuwa tunazingatia Kristo na nguvu na uweza wake, tutaweza kushikilia kielelezo cha maneno yenye uzima (2 Timotheo 1:13). Wazo la kuwa na kielelezo cha maneno yenye uzima lina wazo la muhtasari akilini mwetu na linasisitiza umuhimu wa kujua tunachoamini na kwa nini tunakiamini. Petro anatukumbusha, kama wafuasi wa Yesu Kristo, &quot;kumtakasa Bwana Mungu mioyoni mwenu, na kuwa tayari siku zote kumjibu kila mtu awaulizaye sababu ya tumaini lililo ndani yenu, kwa upole na hofu&quot; (1 Petro 3:15). Ili kufanya hivi, tunahitaji kujua tunachoamini na kwa nini tunakiamini.
