Welcome to episode 12 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we return to the Book of 2 Timothy and cover chapter 3. The title of the message is, “The Prophetic Appeal.” We discuss:
- The characteristics of the false teachers in Ephesus (vv. 1-5)
- The actions of the false teachers (vv. 6-9)
- The fact that persecution is coming (vv. 10-13)
- The sufficiency of Scripture in our lives (vv. 14-17)
Key takeaways:
- Since churches in every generation have false teachers, we need to know how to recognize them and their activities.
- Self-centeredness leads to all kinds of ungodly actions.
- If we desire to live a life pleasing to God, we will encounter persecution.
- The Bible is useful for teaching, rebuking, correction, and moral training.
Quotable:
Character is determined by behavior. What we are is seen in what we do.
Application:
- A true relationship with God is not a matter of knowledge alone, but of knowledge and practice (obedience) of what is known.
- To suffer for the name of Jesus is not something rare, but is actually the norm.
- Just as students learn from textbooks to be equipped for a task, Christians learn from the Bible to be equipped for the work God has called us to.
