2 Timothy 4 – Preach The Word

Throughout the pastoral epistles, Paul emphasizes the importance of teaching sound doctrine to Timothy. Paul has made teaching truth the focal point of his ministry. In a time when there were so many false teachers and deceivers it was critical that Timothy sticks to feeding his flock the truth of God’s word. So in Chapter 4, the last commands that Paul would make before being executed, he charges his son in the faith to Preach the Word. We should heed this charge as well. Living in a world where morality is redefined and God’s truth is resisted, we must preach the word.
