In his letter to Timothy, several times Paul reminded him of the sufferings that he had to face for following Christ. Therefore, Paul reminded him to keep the teachings that he had been given and the knowledge of the holy Writings which are able to make him wise through faith in Jesus Christ.
As our body physically needs to warm up before going through heavy exercises, our spirit as well needs to be warmed up to enables us to face sufferings that its has to endure. The spiritual warming up or stretches will include praying, studying the Bible, attending prayer meetings and other activities related to faith development. These activities will prepare our faith for temptations of many kinds.
Without those stretching sessions our faith will easily fall even by the lightest temptations.
