Keep Your Faith


Listen Later

In the final week of Nothing More Nothing Less, we look at what it takes to follow Jesus faithfully for a lifetime. In 2 Timothy 4, Paul writes his final words to Timothy—passing the baton and calling him to a long obedience in the same direction. Paul gives three essentials for a lasting legacy of faith: (1) Anchor yourself in God’s Word. The Bible is our steady truth “in season and out of season.” We don’t just read it—we let it form us, guide us, and ground us in every part of life. (2) Learn to discern what's right. We are naturally impressionable, and Paul warns that people will drift toward teachings that simply affirm their desires. Disciples must grow in discernment—testing motives, agendas, and fruit to stay rooted in what is actually true. (3) Endure pressure and help others experience life in Jesus. Following Jesus includes hardship, pressure, and sacrifice. Yet Paul tells Timothy to keep his head, endure suffering, and keep doing the work of an evangelist. Faithfulness means living on mission and helping others experience the Gospel. Paul ends by saying, “I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.” One day, our own lives will be measured by faithfulness. This is what matters most—nothing more, nothing less.
