2 TIMOTHY 1:8Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.2 Timothy 2:1
To be faithful in safeguarding the
faith and faithfully transmitting
it through trustworthy people.
2:3 You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 2:4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. 2:5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules. 2:6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops. 2:7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Be a LOYAL SOLDIER of God who is not
entangled with the ways of the world
but rather focused on conquering and
defending territories for God.
Be an ATHLETE for Christ, disciplined, well-trained and deep into prayer and the Word of God.
Be a hardworking FARMER for the
Divine Sower who PERSEVERES until the harvest is brought in.
We are to be in the FOREFRONT of this Battle!

4:1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom: 4:2 preach
the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all
patience and teaching. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts; 4:4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn
aside to fables. 4:5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
I have COMPETED well.
I have FINISHED the race.
I have KEPT the FAITH!
2 Timothy 4:7
