With these familiar words, the apostle Paul reminds his young colleague in the ministry of the basis of the faith he has received from God. Although a servant of choice with unparalleled qualities, Timothy was of a more reserved nature than the apostle. Faced with the storm of opposition often propagated by highly qualified Jewish experts, he was tempted to see nothing other than what he regarded as his inexperience, and it made him tremble and falter. He tended to look at the waves more than the Lord in whose footsteps he was walking. Many look like him today and are threatened with capitulation to error by putting too much weight on their temper and disposition.
The apostle shows that the battle is not being fought there, but rather in the realm of a clear knowledge of the truth of the gospel and its impact on the reality of the situation in which the believer finds himself. Timothy was in trouble because he had forgotten the power of this truth, the double-edged sword of the Spirit, which acts and transforms the entire believer, enabling him to triumph in all situations.
Doctor Lloyd-Jones takes Paul's advice to Timothy and applies it to the present situation and time. With evident pastoral concern, he examines all aspects of gospel truth and shows how it affects the concrete life of one who trusts in Christ. In doing so, he touches on a number of related fields, which makes his book a great help in answering common and confusing questions of Christians.
