2 Timothy 4 Paul continues to urge the preaching of the Word and fully carrying out this ministry given by God. With a clear mind in every situation, Paul says to patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage people with the Word. Paul says there will be crowns for those who remain faithful and work at telling others the Good News, while eagerly awaiting His appearing. We can be encouraged by Paul's description of his delivery from evil attacks, even death, when the Lord stood with him and gave him strength so that he could continue to preach the Good News, knowing that God would soon bring him safely home into His heavenly Kingdom.
