Do we realize that people are listening to what they want to listen to and they have lost the accurate Word of God even in many of our churches today? We need to guard what has been entrusted to us and to teach others who will duplicate the disciples as well. It is so important that we cling to the accurate and full Word of God. Look at how satisfied Paul was with his life as he enters his final battle. He had no one but the Lord to stand with him in the end and yet he knew that he had fought the good fight and kept the faith. He knew he had finished the course the Lord had designed him for. If we have that at the end, we can die satisfied, knowing our reward awaits in heaven. How will reading this letter effect your life from this point forward? Summarize your thoughts and post a prayer if you would like. Tomorrow we will begin reading another pastoral letter from Paul to Titus. Hope you will be back to join in with us. Prayer Father God, I pray ...

Paul wanted Timothy to remind the believers of these things. If you want to take time to look up the commentaries and comment on these things, feel free to. I know from our years in Precept, we have looked at the Greek tense of the verbs and we know this is speaking about the fact that a true believer has died to themselves and they will live with Christ. We also know that a true believer will endure because of the Holy Spirit's presence, which is covered in the book of Hebrews, the perseverance of the saints. As true believers, we will not deny Him, and although we might be faithless at times, we have the assurance that He will remain faithful and never deny Himself or His promises to us. For the sake of our daily reading, you can assume that... or you are most welcome to investigate the Greek verbs for yourself and go into trusted commentary work. You can find trusted commentaries at this link if you would like to work on this. http://preceptaustin.org/2_timothy_212-14.htm#2:12 What did Paul want Timothy to remind them "not" to do and why? vs. 14 What was Timothy to be diligent to present himself as? vs. 15 What was he to handle "accurately"? vs. 15 Why did Paul tell Timothy to avoid worldly and empty chatter? vs.16,17 Paul mentioned Hymenaeus and Philetus, who had gone astray from the truth. What had they believed and how did they upset some of the others? vs. 17,18 Nevertheless, the firm foundaiton of God stands! What is the seal we can trust? vs. 19 What should we abstain from if we name the Lord's Name? vs. 19 Paul talks of how there are costly vessels and common vessels in a large house; some of honor and some of dishonor.(vs.20) If we cleanse ourselves of unholy things, we will be a vessel for honor and sanctified for the Master. What will we be prepared for? vs. 21 What does Paul tell Timothy to flee from (run from) ? vs. 22 What should Timothy pursue (run after)? vs. 22 - Name 4 things.
