2 Timothy – Introduction & Overview

Prison is the last place you’d expect a letter of encouragement to come from. But that’s where Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy.

In this letter, Paul assures Timothy of his love and prayers. He reminds Timothy of his spiritual heritage and responsibilities. He encourages Timothy to persevere—as a soldier, athlete, farmer, or minister of Jesus Christ—so that he will reap the reward. And he warns Timothy that his teaching will come under attack as men desert the truth for ear-scratching words.

This letter, along with Paul’s example and the Holy Spirit, were a great help to Timothy—as they are to us today! God’s Word strengthens us to face increasing opposition and to make the most of God-given opportunities to grow right now, in the last days.
