Posted by Chris on 10/6/2006, 4:24 am I found the following in the introduction to a booklet by Mr Welch called 'Zion, the Overcomer and the Millenium' and thought I would enter it. 1. Striving, and striving about words to no profit, is forbidden (v. 14,24). (‘Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.’) In Christ
81.156.107.184
Hi there,
2 Timothy 2:14-26
2. The only approval we should seek is that of God (v. 15).
3. To misplace a truth, may eat as a gangrene (v. 17,18).
4. While we have no fears concerning the ‘sure foundation’, we have a responsibility to ‘depart from iniquity’ (v.19).
5. We have no call to attempt to ‘purge’ other servants of God, but if we would be ‘meet for the Master’s use’ we must ‘purge ourselves’ from any complicity with known error (v. 21).
6. Such exhortations as ‘shun’, ‘depart’, ‘flee’, ‘avoid’, cannot be ignored (v. 16,19,22,23). We cannot sit on the fence.
7. All at length leads to ‘If God Peradventure‘. Here we stop and God alone carries forward (v. 25,26).
8. The dreadful alternative being 2 Timothy 3:7.
Chris
