Paul calls Timothy to remembrance concerning
his doctrine(II Timothy 3:10), which he received from the Lord and which was committed to him by
the Lord:
Paul calls Timothy to remembrance concerning
his faith and love(II Timothy 3:10):
Paul ALWAYS rejoiced to pray and give thanks when hearing
of the saints' "faith in the Lord Jesus" and their "love unto ALL the saints" (Ephesians 1:15-16 cf.I Thessalonians 1:3,8-9)
Paul calls Timothy to remembrance concerning
his patience and longsuffering(II Timothy 3:10):
Paul's VERY life was a demonstration of God's grace in
saving His persecutor and making him the model of His longsuffering for believers saved by that SAME grace (I Timothy 1:12-16 cf.II Corinthians 4:6-11)
Paul calls Timothy to remembrance concerning
his manner of life as evidenced by his persecutions(II Timothy 3:10-11):
Paul's references to his persecutions show an increasing
opposition to his ministry over time:
At Antioch he was "expelled out of their coasts"
(Acts 13:50)
At Iconium there was an assault against him, which caused
him to flee (Acts 14:5-6)
At Lystra he was stoned and left for dead, but the Lord
revived him and he left the city (Acts 14:19-20)
