2 Timothy 2:14-26
- In this section on living right lives before God, why is so much emphasis put on how we talk, who we talk to, and what we talk about?
- What was the problem with what Hymenaeus and Philetus were saying? Why was it causing problems?
- In verses 20-21, explain the analogy of the different vessels. How are we to be vessels of honor? How does this analogy compare to the vessels in Romans 9:21-23?
- What types of behaviors listed in verses 22-26 honor God?
- What types of behaviors listed in verses 22-26 dishonor God?
- How can we correct those who are in opposition to the faith with gentleness? Why are we to approach them with kindness and gentleness?
- How do we become what God wants us to be? To honor Him?
Consider today what specific behaviors you need to change to become a vessel that honors God, and not one of limited or useless value to Him. How can you be the vessel that is useful to God? One of gold and silver, set aside for special use, and not common use?
