Paul encourages Timothy to raise up others who are reliable to serve along with him. He reminds him that serving in God’s Kingdom is hard work like a farmer, athlete, or soldier. Timothy needs to stand up against false teachers to protect his church family.
The word “elect” is a word that is often misunderstood. This does not mean that some are chosen and some are not chosen. When we choose to say “yes” to Jesus we become part of “the elect.”
