Gary DeLashmutt explains that the command to "handle the Word of truth accurately" means first and foremost that our teaching must focus on the Gospel. In order to focus effectively on the Gospel in our teachings, it must be the focus of our lives; which means that those engaged in Christian ministry must grow in their understanding of their sinfulness, their gracious acceptance by God in Christ, and their fitting response to God of loving others.
