The apostle Paul wrote 2 Timothy during a time when believers faced growing pressure to compromise their faith. Many of his ministry partners had deserted him, and people who previously had claimed Christ were being deceived by false teachers and falling away.
Facing execution, Paul encouraged Timothy, his son in the faith, with a message that remains just as urgent for us today: How do Christians stand firm when following Christ is costly?
2 Timothy: Guarding the Truth, a new ESV verse-by-verse study from Truth For Life and Alistair Begg, takes readers through Paul’s final letter to learn what it means to guard the Gospel, rely on God’s Word in every situation, and entrust it to faithful believers who can then teach others.
Throughout this twelve-week study, you’ll explore:
- the Gospel’s role in suffering
- the sufficiency of Scripture
- why sound doctrine is key to living a holy life
- the urgency of passing on the truth to the next generation
- what it means to finish the race well
Each lesson also contains thought-provoking questions and readings from Psalms and hymns to inspire worship.
2 Timothy: Guarding the Truth is designed to inspire encouragement and discussion in small groups or to be used by individuals to gain a deeper understanding of Paul’s message. Readers will finish the study better equipped to stand firm in God’s truth, boldly proclaim the Gospel, and encourage fellow believers to persevere in Christ.
