2 Timothy 3

Godlessness in the Last Days

3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God

10 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom[a] you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[b] may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Faith through hearing October 29th


“This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” GALATIANS 3:2
To fully understand how God’s righteousness is applied to us, we need to see that it is related to hearing. God’s righteousness is not only His procedure on the cross, but it is our hearing about it. Galatians 3:2 and 5 calls this hearing “the hearing of faith.” The hearing of faith consists of a hearing about the scenery of Calvary. It is that kind of hearing that causes faith to come into being in us. According to Ephesians 2:8, faith is a gift: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” The way this gift is given to us is simply by hearing about the scenery of Calvary.
God wants the appropriate response to Himself. Faith is that response. The way God secures this response of faith is by imparting it into us as a gift. Furthermore, He gives the gift by putting us under a hearing which reveals God’s righteousness. This is the signifi- cance of what Paul says in Romans 1:16-17: 16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed out of faith into faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” This is a righteousness of God that, when revealed, requires faith; and at the same time, while it is being revealed in the gospel, it gives and imparts the very faith that it requires. Thus, faith in Jesus Christ is the faith of Jesus Christ (Gal. 2:16; Rom. 3:22). Faith does not originate with us. It originates with our beholding the scenery of Calvary that reveals God’s righteousness. When we are in the process of beholding the scenery of Calvary through hearing (Gal. 3:1-2), we experience the faith of Jesus Christ. When we respond to what we are beholding and hearing, we experience faith in Jesus Christ.
