2 Timothy

Written in a Roman prison cell just before the apostle Paul’s execution, this extremely personal letter reflects on how Paul fought the “good fight” of faith and challenges us to do the same. Keep hoping, keep sharing, keep living out the gospel. Especially pertinent to those in ministry, these four short lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee encourage us to remain faithful to the end. 

Thru the Bible—2 Timothy

Written near the end of Paul’s life, 2 Timothy is an earnest entreaty for Timothy to remain faithful to his calling. Paul encourages Timothy to be bold in teaching sound doctrine, to present himself as a worker approved by God, and to have endurance in following Christ. Like Paul, we too are called “fight the good fight…finish the race…and keep the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7) in our own lives.

With the Great Fire of Rome and consequential uproar in the city, Christians became a convenient scapegoat and were brutally persecuted at the hands of Emperor Nero. The Apostle Paul was once again imprisoned, and facing his impending death, Paul wrote his last words to strengthen his spiritual son Timothy charging him to fulfill his calling in ministry. Paul’s life is an example to followers of Jesus in any generation.
