Day 88- Good Soldiers of Christ- 2 Timothy 2:1-26





Click here for today’s passage

In 2 Timothy, Paul, who is approaching the end of his life, writes to Timothy to encourage him to persevere though the trials that will come and to stand firm in truth. He encourages him to pass on the gospel to faithful men, who will then in turn teach others about Christ, so that the gospel may be preserved for generations to come. He urges Timothy not to be distracted from his task to spread the gospel, to meditate on it and be open for God to give him understanding. The believer needs to be mindful of his actions fleeing youthful desires and pursuing things of God, through His power at work. God’s empowering and the believer’s efforts work together. 

Questions to consider…

What are the benefits of training younger generations in the gospel at an early age and entrusting them with the gospel? 

What is the connection between Paul's warning to flee youthful passions and the passing on and spreading of the gospel? 


Pray…
Pray for the younger generations of believers. Pray that they'll grow in knowledge of who God is and the grace He has given us. Pray also for God's strength as you face trials  daily that may hinder you from living the gospel and sharing it with others.
