2 Timothy 4:1-2

Central Emphasis:

The call to testify is paramount in the life of believers

  • THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COMMAND (v.1)
    • The judgment of believers at Bema Seat(Judgment Seat.)
    • The Judgment of the Nations
    • The Great White Throne judgment of unbelievers only.(Rev 20:11-15)
  • THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION (V. 2)
    • “Preach the word!”
      • Paul’s Emphasis on the Word of God has been constant.
        • Do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord (2 Timothy 1:8)
        • Hold fast the pattern of sound words. (2 Timothy 1:13).
        • The things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men (2 Timothy 2:2).
        • Rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
        • All Scripture is given by inspiration of God(2 Timothy 3:16)
      • Why preach only God’s Word?
        (1 Thes 2 :13, 1 Peter 1:23, Heb 4:12, Romans 1:16)
        • The gospel doesn’t need to be cleverly packaged . It simply needs to be preached in season and out of season.
      • When will I preach the Word?
        • “Be ready in season and out of season.”
      • Souls are perishing without Christ. Christians are straying from the fold. Proclaim God’s Word whenever and wherever you can.
  • THE MOTIVE OF COMPLIANCE(v.2)
    • “reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and teaching.”
      • Reprove – to convince his hearers of their sins.
      • Rebuke – warn them to stop sinning.
      • Exhort – urge them to do/ encouragement to the fainthearted and discourage.
      • Teaching – great instruction and sound doctrine is to be the aim of preaching.
