Jesus Part 4
Notes
Transcript
There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen.
You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food.
For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right.
Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Know this: In the last days perilous times will come.
Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
without natural affection, trucebreakers, slanderers, unrestrained, fierce, despisers of those who are good,
traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness, but denying its power. Turn away from such people.
Those of this nature creep into houses and captivate silly women who are burdened with sins and led away with various desires,
always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men of corrupt minds and worthless concerning the faith.
But they shall proceed no further, for their folly will be revealed to everyone, as theirs also was.
But you have observed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, tolerance, love, patience,
persecutions, and afflictions, which came to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—what persecutions I endured! But the Lord delivered me out of them all.
Yes, and all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
But evil men and seducers will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
But continue in the things that you have learned and have been assured of, knowing those from whom you have learned them,
and that since childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
