So make sure what you hear is in the presence of many witnesses so to speak because the witnesses can attest to the soundness and purity of the doctrine proclaimed. Sound healthy doctrine leads to Sound healthy souls Vincent Cheung writes Of course a godly example is important. Paul mentions his own example cp 1. B. C. Trivia Byblos Script Byblos is an ancient Phoenician city along the coast of modern day Lebanon. Its name was the origin of the Greek word. Cor 1. 1 1, 2. Ti 3 1. Timothy to set a good example before others, and insists that overseers must be above reproach in their behavior and lifestyle. But words and doctrines are infinitely more important than actions. First, without doctrines, we cannot even tell which actions are commendable and which are condemnable. Good and evil actions are distinguished by doctrines. Actions do not speak louder than words, because they do not speak at all. They are interpreted by words and doctrines. If they speak at all, it is because words speak for them. Second, actions are not what ministers of the Gospel declare to the world and entrust to reliable men. When it comes to perpetuating the power to save and sanctify, we pass on words and doctrines, not actions and examples, for only the gospel can save, and the gospel is an intellectual message about God, man, and Jesus Christ, expressed in spoken and written words. A godly example is important, but its importance is frequently misunderstood and exaggerated. It does not directly contribute to the propagation of the Gospel. Rather, we set a godly example before the world and the church because by it we honor God, so that we ought to live godly lives even when there is no one watching us, and by it we illustrate not declare, since the actions themselves are silent and without meaning the gospel that we preach. Reflections on 2 TimothyAnd links naturally with Timothys being empowered in grace, enabling him to transmit the precious deposit of the things. Gospel. We cannot pass on something which we dont possess. Timothy was to pass on the things which Paul had poured into him. The fact that these things were heard in the presence of many witnesses indicates that there were others who could testify to the truth, trustworthiness and validity of the things Paul taught. They were not private communications, restricted to an inner group. There is herein a noteworthy principle One of the tests of trustworthy doctrine is that the teacher is willing to expound it publicly as well as privately. Note for example how most of the cults refuse to do this but rather seek their converts through secret initiations. Witnesses 3. 14. Whos who in Bible Prophecy.

The point Paul is making is his teaching was not a matter of private discourse, restricted to some select inner group, but heard by many polus much in number or quantity who could testify to the soundness of the doctrines he taught. The apostles had no private esoteric doctrines privately communicated to their successors as was true in many of the secret cults of that day and is a characteristic of many of the cults today. Presence of many witnesses Discipleship may occur in large groups, small groups, or one on one encounters and in the use of this passage Paul emphasizes a group setting. The question we must ask ourselves constantly is Am I being obedient to the Lords command to make disciples Mt 2. In that famous passage often referred to as the Great Commission note the steps 1 Go2 Make disciples the only step which is an actual command learners3 Baptize speaks of true believers where water baptism reflects spiritual baptism Ro 6 3 note4 Teach Not to be hearers but doers. How is this possible Jesus is with us until the end of the age, enabling us by the indwelling Spirit of Christ cp Acts 1 8 note, Ro 8 9 note. The implication is that that first 4 steps are taken with a conscious awareness that we are not able to complete the good works created for us to walk in unless we depend on, lean on, abide in, yield to, surrender to, rely upon. Christ Jesus and His Spirit Who promises to be with us to the endCo 3 5, 6 note. The things. heard refers back to the good thing committed entrusted 2 Ti 1 1. Youngs Literal, specifically the Gospel. Lenski aptly remarks, The apostle evidently did not expect the future teachers of the Church to produce new or different teaching. The Gospel is changeless in all ages. We are to be good stewards of the sound doctrine taught to us by those who discipled us and pass that treasure on to faithful men. Have heard akouo which means to hear with attention and to hear effectually as to perform or grant what is spoken. In short, this is not a description of in one ear and out the other The aorist tense speaks of a past completed effective action and in context sums up as a historic fact the many occasions when Timothy had heard Paul present the standard of sound words in the Gospel 2. Ti 1 1. 3 note, e. Acts 2. 0 7, 8, 9, 1. DISCIPLESHIP PREREQUISITEPROCESSPRODUCTDwight Edwards writes that. This great verse 2. Ti 2 2 contains three major sections, each dealing with a different time period. We see the prerequisite for discipleship, the process of discipleship, and the product of discipleship. The prerequisite past event. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses. We cannot pass on something which we dont possess. Timothy was to pass on the things which Paul had poured into him. These things are the approximate equivalent to the standard of sound words of 2 Ti. Ti. 1 1. 4. The significant point is that preparation always precedes presentation. Every man or woman God has used significantly has undergone a period of intense spiritual preparation. Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist, and Paul among many others spent a significant amount of time being prepared by God before He sent them forth into divine service. Thus we also must not neglect the time of our spiritual training and preparation. It is only by allowing the spirit of God to hone and sharpen us that our lives will have the keen cutting edge which God can use in His skillful hand. Timothy is to take what Paul has poured into his life and let it overflow into the lives of others. The Process Present Event commit these to faithful men Timothy is to take what Paul has poured into his life and let it overflow into the lives of others. The Product future event who will be able to teach others also. Here is the end product of the process of discipleship. If done properly, it will breed warriors for the faith who will go forth to the battle for mens souls.
