Alex Kremer 12-07-2025 | Remember to Remember; 2 Timothy 2:14-19

In today's modern world, we don't really need to remember much.  If we are trying to recall a certain fact, we turn to Google for the answer.  Who needs to remember how to add or subtract when we have a calculator at our disposable, even as an app on our phones.  Those in the ancient world did  not have such luxuries, so their minds were often more attuned to remembering things than we might be today.  Regardless, they still needed reminding.

In 2 Timothy 2:8, considered in the previous message, Paul wrote to Timothy, "Remember Jesus Christ..."  Now in our passage this morning, his instruction to Timothy is to "Remind them of these things."  So as we look at this, we're going to recognize that there's not much entirely new here, but the reality is the Bible often repeats itself because we need to have things repeated for us. We are very prone to forget, and therefore we need to continue to be reminded of the things which God has told us in Scriptures. Reminded, not just so that we can know or have an awareness of it, but so that we can seek to live by it.

Thank you for listening to today's message.  We pray that as you listen to, and study, God's Word, that you will be encouraged by the Gospel to, "Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead," and that as we remember Him, we will live out our faith to bring honor and glory to Him.
