Paul's Last Will and Testament

Mark Posey
02/07/16 - Sun AM

2 Timothy 4:6, 7, 8

Verse 6 - The Present

• 2 Timothy 3:12-13; 4:5
• What are we doing for generations to come behind us?  We must prepare preachers and teachers (2 Tim. 4:2-3)

Verse 7 - The Past

1. Paul fought.  There are things worth fighting for - children, wife, husband, church.  We must keep on fighting!
2. It's a race (Heb. 12:1).  We must run with patience.  Are you even in the race? (Acts 9; 22)
3. Paul kept the faith.  This is a military term, as a soldier on watch for the enemy.  We are soldiers.  We have an enemy: the devil.  We have something we must defend: the Faith!

Verse 8 - The Future

• Paul had confidence he would receive a crown, the victory.  All that love His appearing should have this confidence!

What does this mean for us?

How does this challenge us?
