The Good Deposit

 (ID: 3023)

In his last letter to his protégé, the apostle Paul instructed Timothy to guard the “good deposit” of the Gospel message. Alistair Begg explains that the challenges and encouragements these pastors faced were not unlike those faced by Christian leaders today. In the midst of pressure to conform to a secular culture and opposition from some who should be friends, there will also be loving support from believers who remain faithful and active in supporting Gospel ministry.

14By the Holy Spirit owho dwells within us, guard ithe good deposit entrusted to you.

15You are aware that pall who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16May the Lord grant mercy to qthe household of Onesiphorus, for he often rrefreshed me and was not ashamed of smy chains, 17but when he arrived in Rome the searched for me earnestly and found me— 18may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on uthat day!—and you well know all the service he vrendered at Ephesus.
