What is Apostasy?
When i was young sitting in church half-listening to a sermon on something, my ears tuning in and out of the sermon i heard the word apostasy, and having no clue what this meant i started to dwell on it.
The rest of the sermon all i could think about was this odd word, i just said it over and over in my head.
I couldn’t ask anyone seeing as we were in the middle of the sermon.
Around the end of the sermon it finally dawned on me.
I understood the meaning of this word.
I felt so smart, i felt like a prodigy that I sat down and figured out this large smart sounding word.
After church me and my mom got in the car, and she asked me what i thought of the sermon.
I responded “i don't know i wasn't listening, BUT I learned a new word.
Apostasy.”
Full of pride i said “do you know what an apostasy is? well its a new spaghetti dish!”
I soon learned that it wasn’t Italian food but Much later on in life i learned the true meaning of Apostasy and the huge danger it presents to our world today.
The Apostasy of our culture has caused nearly irreversible damage, and was Satan’s brilliant plan to throw God out of our lives.
Millions of people are apostatizing without even knowing what their doing.
Satan has found a perfect hold on them with lies and deceit.
In this passage we will look at what Paul said to timothy about Apostasy and how to combat it.
Italian food?
(Ah-Pasta-See)
Huge Danger to our Culture
Caused Nearly Irreversible Damage
Satan’s Brilliant Plan to throw God out of our Lives
Millions are Apostatizing Without even Knowing Why
Paul’s Authority With God and Jesus
Paul wrote this letter at the end of his life around 67-68 A.D. He was in Roman prison (Again), but his time he was being sent to be executed.
Most of his friends and partners left him for fear of being persecuted like Paul.
At this point Paul was lonely, abandoned, cold, beaten, tired, old, and still caring about others.
Lonely
Abandoned
Cold
Beaten
Tired
Old
Still Caring About Others!
One of the darkest times i ever went through was in 2018, I was still fairly new to Word of life i hadn’t developed any major friendships execpt for one.
I was going through a depressed stage of my life i was so consumed with everything that was going wrong, i had no girlfriend, i didnt have really any friends.
The friend i desired a deeper relationship with, had other friends to hang out with.
It wasn’t his fault i just couldent get out of my head.
I was lonely, abandoned, emotionally beaten, tired, and i only cared about myself.
That lead me futher down the path to really.....dark places.
Then God pulled me out and set me back on track.
The difference between me and Paul is that he focused on other people and even at one of the hardest times of his life, he could rejoice because he wasn’t focusing on himself.
One of the last things Paul wanted to do was to reach out to the closest person he had to family.
Timothy, Timothy was Paul’s spiritual son, and Paul wanted one of his last letters to go to timothy.
In this letter Paul encourages, Charges, and warns timothy about a variety of things.
In this passage Paul does all three of these, and they all have to do with apostasy.
Charges him
Encourages him
Warns him
The Charge
To Preach the Word
In the Presence of God and Jesus Christ
Who is the Judge of the Living and the Dead
By his Appearing and His Kingdom
He starts off this passage with charging Timothy to Preach the Word.
Paul is not alone though he says, “In the presence of God and Jesus Christ”.
He tell Timothy that this isn't just something that Paul is asking him to do as a friend or a father in spirit.
This is something Paul is charging him with something that he is commanding him to do, but Paul doesn't do it in his power but he does in with the confidence of God and Jesus Christ.
Paul then states that They are the judge of the living and the dead.
That is meant both Physically and Spiritually.
Obviously when we die God is going to judge us, and while we live our lives we are being judged, but how is that taken spiritually?
Paul says that there will be living and dead spiritually, this isnt a new topic for Paul.
In the beginning of “2 Timothy” Paul writes;
“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is IN Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 1:1)
The Charge
To Preach the Word
In the Presence of God and Jesus Christ
Who is the Judge of the Living and the Dead
By his Appearing and His Kingdom
Paul states that life is found in Christ and those who accept his salvation.
Which means those who aren't saved are spiritually dead.
Paul points this out to show Timothy that those who die without becoming spiritually alive are going to be be judged on that, and that those who do accept are going to be judged as well.
The last thing Paul says is that he charges timothy “by His appearing and His kingdom”.
He reminds Timothy that there isnt alot of time before the Lord returns, and that Timothy needs to be quick to preach the Word.
God will Judge those who are spiritually dead for not reaching out and seeking him, but he will also judge us the ones who are alive, who know the truth and never share it with anyone.
Paul’s first set of Charges
After Paul gives the reason behind why he has the authority to charge Timothy he goes into the charges themselves.
