Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. II Timothy 4:2
God gives us a great plan for teaching in this passage. The world is lost in sin and God has the solution for their problems in His word. How can we get it too them? Be ready to preach the word all the time. When we reprove, we prove again what God has to say to us. When we rebuke, we point out how far we are from doing what He wants. When we exhort, we encourage others to make the corrections necessary to be in His will. Too many times we just rebuke without truth, or encouragement. That may leave people depressed without a clear plan to obey the Lord. Let’s follow His plan for our teaching, and don’t forget the patience.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
