GOOD SOLDIERS OF CHRIST

2 Timothy 2

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Lord, I’m on Your side in life and I’m grateful that You have chosen to be on my side, too.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. What do you think Paul is trying to teach Timothy here? What kind of person is “a workman who does not need to be ashamed”? How can you be or become that person?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• What do Paul’s images of a soldier, athlete and farmer teach you about being a follower of Jesus Christ?
• What are some things that tend to distract you from doing the things God wants you to do? How can you avoid those distractions?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. Twice Paul mentions the importance of avoiding quarrels. If you face any today, think about how you will resolve them now or avoid them in the future.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Lord, help me to grow into a person who knows how to live well and wisely follows Your admonitions.
