Take Hold of Eternal Life

Many Christians know who they are in Christ on Sunday and lose track of it by Tuesday. Paul told Timothy to "take hold of the eternal life to which you were called," and that charge still fits every believer.

Take Hold of Eternal Life is a 12-lesson Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen built around Paul's charge in 1 Timothy 6:11–21. It's written for adult Bible classes, small groups, and personal study.

How This Study Helps

The world pulls hard with its pleasures and treasures, and it's easy for a Christian's new identity to slip into the background of a busy life. Faith becomes something we hold loosely instead of something we live inside every day.

This study traces God's plan from creation to the cross and beyond, and shows how His message gives refuge, comfort, and hope. Then it presses the personal question. Will you let go of what the world offers in order to gain Christ? Working from the virtues Paul urges on Timothy, each lesson calls you to a daily commitment to who you are in Him. "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).
