2 Timothy is Paul’s last letter. He has been in prison for a second time, and likely waiting to be executed. We see a personal touch of Paul saying goodbye. In this last letter. We look into Paul’s last words of encouragement and advice to Timothy. Paul is thankful for the gospel message, and faith. He urges Timothy to fan into flame this gift of faith in the Gospel message from Jesus Christ. A tremendous opening letter, and words of encouragement that we can use today.
