Take Aways:

1. Paul warned Timothy of the dangerous, deceitful, and destructive spirit of the world that will intensify in the last days—“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.” 1 John 2:18

2. Paul urged Timothy to hold fast to the Word that he would be thoroughly equipped to fulfill his calling in the Lord—“Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.” 1 Timothy 4:16
