In the final chapter of 2 Timothy, Paul encourages Timothy to keep preaching the Word. He warns of a time coming when people will just want to be entertained and hear what they want, but we are called to preach the truth. Paul then offers some concluding remarks and reminds Timothy to finish the race, not to give up, and not to hold anything back. As followers of Jesus, we are to pour out everything we have in service to Christ.
