In this passage from 2 Timothy 2:1–7, Paul calls believers to live a gospel-focused life marked by endurance, obedience, and hard work. Using the images of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer, Paul shows that following Christ requires perseverance in suffering, faithfulness to God’s ways, and steady commitment over time. The mission is not just to believe the gospel but to pass it on by making disciples who make other disciples. Though the task is difficult, God does not leave his people to rely on their own strength. Instead, believers are strengthened daily by the grace found in Christ Jesus, which empowers them to live on mission for his glory.
As Christians, our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who make other disciples of Jesus Christ.
