PAUL’S LAST LETTER TO TIMOTHY REMINDS HIM:

We live in a God-vs-Satan world

We are ambassadors for Jesus’ Kingdom (Matthew 5:14-16; Titus 2:1,11)

THERE ARE COMPELLING AND URGENT REASONS WHY WE “PREACH AND SHARE THE WORD”

Because God’s truth matters (2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Because of the long line of contenders for the faith (2 Timothy 3:10-15, 2:20; Jude 3)

Because of the power of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:15-17; Romans 1:16; Acts 1:8)

Because of the love and command of God (2 Timothy 4:1, 2:15; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Corinthians9:27;Matthew 22:37-40, 28:18-20)

Because of the deceptiveness of the sensual (2 Timothy 4:3-5; Romans 12:1-2)


God wants all men not to perish, but to possess His Truth and be saved. Every Christian carries the promise of eternal life, so that the Good News about Christ can be shared through our relationships
