2 Timothy 3:1-9
1. Make a list of the characteristics of the world in the end times from these verses:
2. In the list that you made above, put a checkmark by each of the characteristics that describe our world today.
3. Read verse 5 carefully. What does it mean when it says they hold to a “form of godliness”? What is different about this godliness verses genuine righteousness?
4. How can someone continually learn, but never come to the truth? Is this even possible? (1 Corinthians 2:14)
5. Read verse 8. Who are Jannes and Jambres? How do we know who they are? How are thy like the men at the end of the age? People today? (Exodus 7:11)
6. What should our interaction with the people described be like? How should we reach out to them and witness to them? How will they be exposed?
As you reflect on the characteristics of the world described in these verses, and the time in which we live, what is your reaction to our society? How can we impact our society in a positive, productive, and faithful way that honors God? Will it all ultimately be in vain?
