Category: 2 Timothy (Page 2 of 2)

It is easy to grasp the essence of the verses in front of us. Some friends are faithful until the end, and some are not; some friends will jump ship and abandon you while others will remain faithfully by your side through thick and thin. Look at the passage with me…

There is one clear big idea throughout this passage: Don’t be ashamed and guard the gospel! It is clear from the text that the apostle Paul is nearing the end of his life here on earth (4:6 – 7); he is about to be beheaded for his faith, he has been faithful to the gospel, he is ready to end his ministry well, and he has a few final words to say to Timothy, his young protégé in the ministry before he dies.

The book of Second Timothy was written by the apostle Paul. It is commonly believed that this book was Paul’s final letter before he was beheaded for his faith.
