You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one en-gaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who en-listed him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he com-petes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Con-sider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2:1-7 NKJV
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Hmmm, that seems like a specific instruction. You see a key point in there is not get entangled in the affairs of the world. To focus, to be intentional, to compete as an athlete going for a prize.
We are in this to compete for the prize, not just attend the game and watch from the stands. The bottom line here is that these are commands, not suggestions. God expects His people to press in and move on to maturity.
