I Timothy 2:1-7

I. God Wants Us To Pray. (vs. 1-2)

Paul used four different words for prayer.

Our prayers are to be made for everyone, especially those in positions of authority.

The results of these prayers would be that believers would “live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”.

II. God Wants Us To Be Saved. (vs. 3-4)

God takes no pleasure in people dying without salvation.

God will not save people apart from Jesus Christ.

Get Jesus while you can.

III. God Wants Us To Know There Is A Mediator. (vs. 5-6)

If we don’t make peace with God in this life, we will be separated from Him for eternity.

Jesus has intervened for us – His death on the cross was on our behalf.

Jesus is the only mediator – if your sin account is to be settled with God, it’ll be by Jesus and Him only.

IV. God Wants Us To Tell Others About Him. (vs. 7)

In the ancient world it was of the utmost importance to share – remember there was no TV, telephone, or internet.

God desires that His work of salvation be proclaimed.

CONCULSION:

God appoints all believers to tell others!
