Under Gods Command
2nd Timothy 4:1-2 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge. Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.
It was important for Timothy to preach the gospel so that the Christian faith could spread throughout the world. We believe in Christ today because people like Timothy were faithful to their mission. It is still vitally important for believers to spread the gospel. Half of the total number of people who have ever lived are alive today, and most of them do not know Christ. He is coming soon, and he wants to find his faithful believers ready for him. It may be inconvenient to take a stand for Christ or to tell others about his love, but preaching the Word of God is the most important responsibility the church and its members have been given.
Lets Bring it Home: Be prepared for, courageous in, and sensitive to God-given opportunities to tell the Good News. Be prepared in season and out of season means to always be ready to serve God in any situation, whether or not it is convenient. Be sensitive to the opportunities God gives you.
Paul told Timothy to “correct, rebuke, and encourage” It is difficult to accept correction, to be told we have to change. But no matter how much the truth hurts, we must be willing to listen to it so we can more fully obey God.
