As I was reading through 2 Timothy this week, I decided to make a list of all the things Paul instructed Timothy to do in this final letter. Thought it would be a good way to see all of the things Paul thought were the most important things to tell Timothy:
· Fan into flame the gift of God that is in you (1:6)
· For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power, of love and of self-discipline. (1:7)
· Do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord (1:8)
· What you heard from me, keep as a pattern of sound teaching (1:13)
· Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you with the help of the Holy Spirit (1:14)
· Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus (2:1)
· Entrust to reliable men who will be qualified to teach others the things you heard me say (2:2)
· Endure hardship like a good soldier (2:3)
· Reflect on what I am saying, the Lord will give you insight into all this (2:7)
· Keep reminding them about these things (2:14)
· Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth (2:15)
· Avoid godless chatter (2:16)
· Flee the evil desires of youth (2:22)
· Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments (2:23)
· The Lords servant must not quarrel (2:24)
· Gently instruct those who oppose you (2:25)
· Continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of (3:14)
· All scripture is God-breathed (3:16)
· Preach the word (4:2)
· Be prepared in season and out of season (4:2)
· Correct, rebuke and encourage (4:2)
· Keep your head in all situations (4:5)
· Endure hardship (4:5)
· Do the work of an evangelist (4:5)
· Discharge all the duties of your ministry (4:5)
