Judgment
As mentioned before, 2nd Timothy is written by Paul to Timothy as Paul is nearing the end of his life. Paul recognizes the need for working harder to do God鈥檚 work because the day of God鈥檚 judgment is getting closer.
If almost 2000 years ago God鈥檚 judgment was coming soon, how much more so for us? God鈥檚 judgment is getting close, and our time is limited to reach as many for Christ as we can.
