Keys of Truth: Second Timothy (Chapter 4)

1) God will judge the living and the dead. Jesus will establish His kingdom on the Earth.
2) We must spread (preach) the Word of God whether or not the time is right (favorable). Patiently correct, point out errors, warn people, rebuke, and encourage with good teaching. Remember to be patient.
3) This is the time when people will not listen to accurate teachings; sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and look for teachers who tell them what they want to hear.
4) People will reject the truth and chase after lies.
5) We must keep a clear head in every situation. Don’t be afraid to suffer for the Lord because of truth. Work at telling others about Jesus Christ and carrying out the ministry that God has given you.
6) We must offer our life as a sacrifice to God, pouring it out like water.
7) We must fight the good fight of faith and finish the race; being faithful.
8) A crown of righteousness awaits all of us that have God’s approval. This crown will be given to us as a prize when Jesus Christ appears to all that eagerly await His coming.
9) There will be some people who will abandon the truth, falling in love with the present world.
10) Make a point to be useful and helpful in spreading the Word of God.
11) God will judge those that do harm to those that are in right standing with Him.
12) Some people will oppose the truth of God’s Word; watch out for them!
13) Sometimes people will not support you when you’re right.
14) God will support you and give you strength.
15) God will deliver us from every evil attack and bring us safely into His heavenly kingdom.
16) All the glory belongs to God forever and ever! Amen
