As we move from 1 Timothy to 2 Timothy, it seems that Paul has developed an even closer relationship with Timothy. He is constantly on Paul's mind and in his prayers. Paul also speaks of the unfeigned faith that was passed down through the generations and now dwelled in Timothy. Could Paul say that about us. Do we have unfeigned faith? Is it genuine, or is it a sham? Let's live a life so that others can see that our faith isn't just an act. Paul also instructs Timothy to stir up the gift of the ministry because God has given us the spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Therefore, we should not be ashamed of the Lord or His people.
Paul had suffered many things. Yet, he could confidently say that he knew who he believed and was not ashamed of it. Next, he tells Timothy to hold onto the things that he had learned and not turn back as some others had. May we strive to be like Paul: tireless in God's work and determined to stay faithful until the end.
