II Timothy 3:10-3:15

Early Influences with Consequences

Paul continues to encourage Timothy that despite difficult challenges, he must not waiver but continue on in the things he believes. Paul reminds him of the spiritual heritage that was passed to him by his grandmother and his mother, and Pastor Joe encourages us to be mindful of the opportunities we have to leave a legacy with our kids and grandkids.

  1. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
  2. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
  3. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
  4. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
  5. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
  6. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
