Greetings

That God's will and his commandment are one and the same can be seen by comparing the opening words of the first and second letters to Timothy. Further, such comparison will remind that the Christian's hope is eternal life in Christ Jesus. Paul may have considered Timothy his son because he helped him learn and obey the gospel. He loved him because of the close relationship they had in the gospel. Paul treated Timothy like a son by training him to carry out the important task of preaching the truth. His prayer for him was that he would receive God's unmerited favor, tender mercy and unsurpassed peace of mind. All of these come from the Father and Son (2 Timothy 1:1-2).
