The Ministry of Reminder

The first five verses of 2 Timothy 4 encapsulate Paul's concern for the ongoing ministry of the Gospel. At this point in his letter, Paul has reminded Timothy that he must continue in the Gospel himself and that the Scriptures are divinely inspired. Now, as Alistair Begg explains, Paul turns Timothy's attention to the solemn charge, stirring challenge, and straightforward and vitally important commitment that are intrinsic to his ministry—and to the ministries of all who follow in Timothy's line.
