2 Timothy 2:8-10: Everything for the Sake of the Elect: Emphases for Endurance in Evangelism
Update: 2025-10-19
Description
2 Timothy 2:8-10: Summary: Paul exhorts Timothy to establish an enduring culture of evangelism in the local church. What Timothy's seen in Paul, Timothy's to model and impart to others, and those disciples, to still others. The best thing for a healthy missiology (missions) is a healthy ecclesiology (church) built on a healthy soteriology (salvation). To that end, Paul provides three main emphases for an enduringly evangelistic church: 1) Jesus is not dead. 2) The Word is not bound. 3) The ministry is not in vain. Remember the crucified and risen King. Remember the Word of God reigns over the limitations of men. Remember God has a people, and Jesus, a salvation, that's worth what it demands: enduring everything to pair the people to their Savior. Such emphases will sustain the church who's aim is the glory of God in the harvest of God by the Word of God.
