Guard the Gospel

Bart Byl on 2 Timothy 1.

Series: Tenacious Witness (2 Timothy)

Paul, nearing the end of his life, writes a heartfelt letter to his spiritual son Timothy, urging him to remain steadfast in faith and to preserve the gospel message entrusted to him. He emphasizes the importance of continuing the legacy of faith handed down by Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, and encourages Timothy to rely on the Holy Spirit's power, love, and self-discipline rather than succumbing to fear. Paul concludes by highlighting the eternal victory of Christ over death and the necessity of guarding and proclaiming this gospel until the end.
