Paul’s second letter to Timothy is a personal letter to Timothy, which begins by Paul reflecting on Timothy’s sincere faith. Timothy’s mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, had taught Timothy from a very young age about what faith is all about. Paul sees evidence of this faith in Timothy and is overjoyed that he is displaying in his life what he was taught.

Paul begins this chapter by reminding Timothy of the great apostasy which was to be expected in the church, and states some of the characteristics of it.

Sadly, many have taken Paul’s description of the ‘last days’ to mean the events which will happen just before Christ returns. 2 Timothy 3

In this final chapter, Paul charges Timothy to continue to do his work as an evangelist in reaching the lost and to continue to do what God called him to do. Paul recognises his life on Earth is coming to an end and desperately wants Timothy to come and visit him before he dies. 2 Timothy 4
