Keep the faith (12-13)
Paul told Timothy to “fight the good fight of faith.”
What are we fighting against?
We fight against falsehoods coming from non-believers.
We fight against false teachings of those who profess to know Christ.
Notice how he uses the phrase “eternal life.”
The “eternal life to which you were called.”
Some might argue, and do so with Biblical grounds that we are eternal beings.
We never really die.
Paul says, “you were called” to this.
He isn’t simply arguing that they would be eternal, but their eternity would rest in Christ because He called them to Himself.
Paul talks about the “good confession.”
A “good confession” brings with it works that come from a life that shows it has been with Jesus.
James 1:22-
Paul “urged” Timothy.
He urged him to remain true to the gospel.
Just as he was urged in
And in “command”=”urge”
Do so until He comes (14)
Most things have an end right?
What’s the end of the week?
(Friday for many!)
What happens when you are finished eating?
Vacations end.
The terrible two’s end.
And so does our work for Him on earth.
Check this out.
We learn here where I get my phrase, “work for Jesus until you quit sucking wind.”
Friends, living a life of faith stops when our heart does or when Jesus comes.
Can we move to a slower pace of ministry?
Yes, but I know of many saints who speed up for Jesus when they retire from a vocational job.
Does a baby, a job change, or a special life circumstance sometimes hinder our ability to get out like we once did?
You bet, but it should never give us the excuse to sit on the sidelines.
Friends, don’t stop telling about the good confession!
The apostle John gives us a pretty good example of a “good confession.”
John 18:
Concord, keep the faith.
Keep sharing your faith.
Make disciples who share their faith.
