In today’s passage, Pastor Wallace teaches about the Apostle Paul’s charge to his son in the ministry, Timothy to spare nothing to protect the gospel message. Though hardship would come, Paul wanted Timothy to continue in those things he had learned. He challenges Timothy and us to endure in the faith, even to the point of death. Clearly, as believers we are in the midst of trying times. Notwithstanding, when we strive to live for Christ, finding hope in difficult times will give us the perseverance to move forward. Just as Paul encouraged Timothy, we too must press on and continue for the Lord. So, Paul encourages Timothy to “guard the good treasure.” The Good News for us today is that God offers His divine assistance enabling us to fulfill the responsibility He has given us. Praise God!
